(a)  Based on average shares outstanding.
(b)  Net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets include a special cash dividend received of $4 per share owned of Warner Chilcott PLC on August 29, 2012. Net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets excluding the special dividend are $0.43 and 0.87%, respectively.
(c)  The mean between the last bid and ask prices.
(d)  Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions. Market price total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market price at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at market price during the period, and sale at the market price on the last day of the period. Total investment returns calculated for a period of less than one year are not annualized.
(e)  Annualized.
(f)  In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. Estimated investment company expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the funds that the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated investment company expenses that you bear indirectly is included in the Fund’s total return.
(g)  Portfolio turnover rate is not annualized and does not include securities received or delivered from processing creations or redemptions. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, the portfolio turnover calculation includes the value of securities purchased and sold in the effort to realign the Fund’s portfolio holdings due to the underlying index change.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9, 2000 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-three portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio (DWAQ)    “DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio (PWC)    “Dynamic Market Portfolio”
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio (PRF)    “FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio”
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio (PRFZ)    “FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc., except for Shares of FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, which are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

 

Fund

  

Underlying Index

DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio    Dorsey Wright NASDAQ Technical LeadersTM Index
Dynamic Market Portfolio    Dynamic Market IntellidexSM Index
FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio    FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index
FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio    FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Index

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and ask prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a 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 securities a 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, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over

 

 

  41  

 


 

 

numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

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

Momentum Investing Risk. DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio employs a “momentum” style of investing that is subject to the risk that the securities may be more volatile than the market as a whole, or that the returns on securities that have previously exhibited price momentum are less than returns on other styles of investing. Momentum can turn quickly, and stocks that previously exhibited high momentum may not experience continued positive momentum. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style of investing is out of favor and therefore, the investment performance of the Fund may suffer.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. For FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, 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.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-date.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

G. Securities Lending

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Each of DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio and Dynamic Market Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each of FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the “Expense Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of each Fund. For the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and the FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund from exceeding 0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”), through at least August 31, 2015. Offering costs excluded from the Expense Cap are: (a) initial legal fees pertaining to the Funds’ Shares offered for sale; (b) initial Securities and Exchange Commission and state registration fees; and (c) initial fees paid to be listed on an exchange. For the DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio and the Dynamic Market Portfolio, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year, through at least August 31, 2015. Unless the Adviser continues the Expense Agreement, it will terminate on August 31, 2015. The Expense Agreement cannot be terminated during its term.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Adviser waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio    $ 43,274   
Dynamic Market Portfolio      101   
FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio      310,682   
FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio      129,248   

For FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, the Expense Agreement provides that the fees waived or expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years, but no recapture payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap as specified above. For DWA NASDAQ Momentum Portfolio and Dynamic Market Portfolio, the expenses borne by the Adviser are not subject to recapture.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 —

Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period),

 

 

  44  

 


 

 

  unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of October 31, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2014, which expire as follows:

 

                                  Post-effective no
expiration

* Capital loss carryforwards as of the date listed above are reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Note 7. Investment Transactions

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees and Officer of the Funds. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9, 2000 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-three portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio (PWB)    “Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio (PWV)    “Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Large Core Portfolio (PXLC)    “Fundamental Pure Large Core Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Large Growth Portfolio (PXLG)    “Fundamental Pure Large Growth Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Large Value Portfolio (PXLV)    “Fundamental Pure Large Value Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Mid Core Portfolio (PXMC)    “Fundamental Pure Mid Core Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Mid Growth Portfolio (PXMG)    “Fundamental Pure Mid Growth Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Mid Value Portfolio (PXMV)    “Fundamental Pure Mid Value Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Small Core Portfolio (PXSC)    “Fundamental Pure Small Core Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio (PXSG)    “Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio”
PowerShares Fundamental Pure Small Value Portfolio (PXSV)    “Fundamental Pure Small Value Portfolio”
PowerShares Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio (PZI)    “Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and ask prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a 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 securities a 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, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Fundamental Pure Large Growth Portfolio and Fundamental Pure Large Value Portfolio are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. 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. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

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

Core Risk. For Fundamental Pure Large Core Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Mid Core Portfolio and Fundamental Pure Small Core Portfolio, the returns on “core” securities may or may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Thus, the value of each Fund’s investments will vary and at times may be lower or higher than that of other types of investments.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. For Fundamental Pure Mid Core Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Mid Growth Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Mid Value Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Small Core Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio and Fundamental Pure Small Value Portfolio, 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.

Growth Risk. For Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Large Growth Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Mid Growth Portfolio and Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio, the market values of “growth” securities may be more volatile than other types of investments. The returns on “growth” securities may or may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Thus, the value of each Fund’s investments will vary and at times may be lower or higher than that of other types of investments.

Micro Capitalization Company Risk. Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio’s investments in the securities of micro capitalization companies involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations. Micro capitalization companies carry additional risks because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices tend to be more volatile and their markets less liquid than companies with larger market capitalizations. Also, it may take a long time before the Fund realizes a gain, if any, on an investment in a micro capitalization company.

REIT Risk. For each Fund (except for Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio and Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio), although the Funds will not invest in real estate directly, the REITs in which the Funds invest are subject to risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, 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 purchasers.

 

 

  64  

 


 

 

Value Risk. For Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Large Value Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Mid Value Portfolio and Fundamental Pure Small Value Portfolio, “value” securities are subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Thus, the value of each Fund’s investments will vary and at times may be lower or higher than that of other types of investments.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-date.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

G. Securities Lending

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, Fundamental Pure Mid Value Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio, Fundamental Pure Small Value Portfolio and Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of

 

 

  65  

 


 

 

the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Each Fund (except for Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio and Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Each of Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio and Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the “Expense Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund (except for Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio and Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio) from exceeding 0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”), through at least August 31, 2015. The Expense Cap for each of Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio and Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio is 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year, through at least August 31, 2015, and sub-licensing fees are excluded from the expenses subject to the Expense Cap for these Funds in addition to the excluded expenses above. Offering costs excluded from each Expense Cap are: (a) initial legal fees pertaining to the Funds’ Shares offered for sale; (b) initial Securities and Exchange Commission and state registration fees; and (c) initial fees paid to be listed on an exchange. Unless the Adviser continues the Expense Agreement, it will terminate on August 31, 2015. The Expense Agreement cannot be terminated during its term. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses during the period under this Expense Cap for Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio and Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Adviser waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio    $ 124   
Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio      355

Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio      47,077   
Fundamental Pure Small Value Portfolio      55,643

The Expense Agreement provides that the fees waived or expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee was waived or expense was borne by the Adviser, but no recapture payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap as specified above.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of October 31, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees and Officer of the Funds. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

 

 

  70  

 


 

 

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares Fundamental Pure Mid Value Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Pure Small Core Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Pure Small Growth Portfolio and PowerShares Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio (collectively, the “Portfolios”) bear directly, the Portfolios indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolios invest. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolios will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolios. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolios invest in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in each Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by the Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended October 31, 2014. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9, 2000 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-three portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio (PPA)    “Aerospace & Defense Portfolio”
PowerShares CleantechTM Portfolio (PZD)    “CleantechTM Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Momentum Portfolio (PDP)    “DWA Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio (PSP)    “Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio”
PowerShares Golden Dragon China Portfolio (PGJ)    “Golden Dragon China Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio (PBP)    “S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (SPHQ)    “S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio”
PowerShares Water Resources Portfolio (PHO)    “Water Resources Portfolio”
PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio (PBW)    “WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio”
PowerShares WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio (PUW)    “WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

 

Fund

  

Underlying Index

Aerospace & Defense Portfolio    SPADETM Defense Index
CleantechTM Portfolio    The Cleantech IndexTM
DWA Momentum Portfolio    Dorsey Wright Technical LeadersTM Index
Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio    Red Rocks Global Listed Private Equity Index
Golden Dragon China Portfolio    NASDAQ Golden Dragon China Index
S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio    CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite IndexTM
S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio    S&P 500® High Quality Rankings Index
Water Resources Portfolio    NASDAQ OMX US Water IndexSM
WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio    WilderHill Clean Energy Index
WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio    WilderHill Progressive Energy Index

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

 

 

  42  

 


 

 

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Swap agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are valued based on a model which may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry, and company performance.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and ask prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a 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 securities a 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, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund (except for CleantechTM Portfolio, DWA Momentum Portfolio, Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio, S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio, S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio and WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio) is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. 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. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

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

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.

Foreign Investment Risk. For CleantechTM Portfolio, investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability, local taxation, potential currency transfer restrictions or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. As the Fund may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities and may negatively impact the Fund’s returns.

Foreign Securities Risk. For Cleantech Portfolio, Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and Water Resources Portfolio, since their Underlying Indexes may include ADRs and global depositary receipts (“GDRs”), investing in these Funds involve risks of investing in foreign securities, in addition to the risks associated with domestic securities. In general, foreign companies are not subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies and, as such, there may be less publicly available information about these companies. Moreover, foreign companies often are subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record-keeping than are U.S. companies. Therefore, not all material information regarding these companies will be available.

Risk of Investing in Listed Private Equity Companies. For Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio, there are certain risks inherent in investing in listed private equity companies, which encompass business development companies (“BDCs”). and other financial institutions or vehicles whose principal business is to invest in and lend capital to, or provide services to privately held companies. The 1940 Act imposes certain restraints upon the operations of BDCs. For example, BDCs are required to invest at least 70% of their total assets primarily in securities of private companies or thinly traded U.S. public companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. Generally, little public information exists for private and

 

 

  44  

 


 

 

thinly traded companies, and there is a risk that investors may not be able to make a fully informed investment decision. With investments in debt instruments, there is a risk that the issuer may default on its payments or declare bankruptcy. Additionally, a BDC may incur indebtedness only in amounts such that the BDC’s asset coverage equals at least 200% after such incurrence. These limitations on asset mix and leverage may prohibit the way that the BDC raises capital. BDCs generally invest in less mature private companies, which involve greater risk than well-established, publicly-traded companies.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-date.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund (except for S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio) is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

The S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

 

 

  45  

 


 

 

G. Option Contracts Written

S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio may engage in certain strategies involving options to manage or minimize the risk of its investments or for investment purposes. A call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price during the option period. When the Fund writes (sells) call options, the amount of the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current value of the option written. The difference between the premium received and the current value of the option is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statements of Operations. If a written call option expires, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a written option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium originally received. The primary risk in writing a call option is market risk. The Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised but will continue to bear the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. There is also a risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Writing Covered Call Option Risk. By writing covered call options in return for the receipt of premiums, the S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the S&P 500® Index above the exercise prices of the written options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the S&P 500® Index. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the underlying stocks over time. In addition, the Fund’s ability to sell the underlying securities will be limited while the option is in effect unless the Fund extinguishes the option position through the purchase of an offsetting identical option prior to the expiration of the written option. If trading of options is suspended, the Fund may be unable to write options at times that may be desirable or advantageous to the Fund to do so.

H. Swap Agreements

The Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio may enter into various swap transactions, including interest rate, total return, index, currency exchange rate and credit default swap contracts (“CDS”) for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, currency or credit risk. Such transactions are agreements between two parties (“Counterparties”). These agreements may contain, among other conditions, events of default and termination events, and various covenants and representations such as provisions that require the Fund to maintain a pre-determined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of the Fund’s NAV over specific periods of time. If the Fund were to trigger such provisions and have open derivative positions at that time, the Counterparty may be able to terminate such agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net liability positions, if any.

Interest rate, total return, index and currency exchange rate swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or return of an underlying asset, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index.

Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund accrues for the fixed payment stream and amortizes upfront payments, if any, on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount, recorded as a component of realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of a swap agreement is recorded as realized gain (loss) on the Statements of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the potential obligation of the Fund under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and Counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that a swap is difficult to sell or liquidate, the Counterparty does not honor its obligations under the agreement and unfavorable interest rates and market fluctuations. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

I. Securities Lending

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, CleantechTM Portfolio, Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio, Golden Dragon China Portfolio, WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio and WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedules of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the

 

 

  46  

 


 

 

market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Each Fund (except for S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio and S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As compensation for its services, the S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.75% of its average daily net assets. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit, and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the “Expense Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of each Fund (excluding S&P BuyWrite Portfolio), pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund (except for S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio and S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”), through at least August 31, 2015. The Expense Cap (including sub-licensing fees) for S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio is 0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year through at least August 31, 2015. Offering costs excluded from the Expense Cap are: (a) initial legal fees pertaining to the Funds’ Shares offered for sale; (b) initial Securities and Exchange Commission and state registration fees; and (c) initial fees paid to be listed on an exchange. Unless the Adviser continues the Expense Agreement, it will terminate on August 31, 2015. The Expense Agreement cannot be terminated during its term. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses during the period under this Expense Cap for DWA Momentum Portfolio, Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and Water Resources Portfolio.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Adviser waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Aerospace & Defense Portfolio    $ 77   
CleantechTM Portfolio      14,471  
DWA Momentum Portfolio      802

The Expense Agreement provides that the fees waived or expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee was waived or expense was borne by the Adviser, but no recapture payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap as specified above. The Expense Agreement does not apply to S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical

 

 

  48  

 


 

 

assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of October 31, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The appreciation (depreciation) on options held in S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio was based on Level 1 inputs. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Derivative Investments

Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio have implemented required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which was subsequently clarified in Financial Accounting Standards Board ASU 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” is intended to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting arrangements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and to enable investors to better understand the effect of those arrangements on each fund’s financial position. In order for an arrangement to be eligible for netting, the Funds must have a basis to conclude that such netting arrangements are legally enforceable. The Funds enter into netting agreements and collateral agreements in an attempt to reduce the Funds’ counterparty credit risk by providing for a single net settlement with a counterparty of all financial transactions covered by the agreement in an event of default as defined under such agreement.

There were no derivative instruments subject to a netting agreement for which the Funds are not currently netting. The following table presents derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable netting agreement or offset by collateral arrangements as of October 31, 2014.

Note 7. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2014, which expire as follows:

Note 9. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation for S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 10. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 11. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, (excluding PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio), you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares DWA Momentum Portfolio and PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio (collectively, the “Portfolios”) bear directly, the Portfolios indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolios invest. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolios will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolios. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolios invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in each Portfolio’s total return.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9, 2000 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-three portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio (PKW)    “BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio”
PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio (PFM)    “Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio”
PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio (PGF)    “Financial Preferred Portfolio”
PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio (PEY)    “High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio”
PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio (PID)    “International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

 

Fund

  

Underlying Index

BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ US BuyBack AchieversTM Index
Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ US Broad Dividend AchieversTM Index
Financial Preferred Portfolio    Wells Fargo® Hybrid & Preferred Securities Financial Index
High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ US Dividend AchieversTM 50 Index
International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ International Dividend AchieversTM Index

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

 

 

  23  

 


 

 

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and ask prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a 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 securities a 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.

 

 

  24  

 


 

 

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. 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. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

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

Sampling Risk. Financial Preferred Portfolio’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

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.

Dividend Paying Security Risk. Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio invest in securities that pay high dividends. As a group, these securities can fall out of favor with the market, causing such companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of the companies in an Underlying Index and the capital resources available for such companies’ dividend payments may affect a Fund.

Foreign Securities Risk. For Financial Preferred Portfolio and International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, investments in foreign securities involve risks in addition to the risks associated with domestic securities. In general, foreign companies are not subject to the regulatory requirements of U.S. companies and, as such, there may be less publicly available information about these companies. Moreover, foreign companies often are subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record-keeping than are U.S. companies. Therefore, not all material information regarding these companies will be available.

In addition, securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid than comparable securities of U.S. issuers and, as such, their price changes may be more volatile. Furthermore, foreign exchanges and broker-dealers generally are subject to less government and exchange scrutiny and regulation than their U.S. counterparts. In addition, differences in clearance and settlement procedures in foreign markets may cause delays in settlement of a Fund’s trades effected in those markets and could result in losses to a Fund due to subsequent declines in the value of the securities subject to the trades. Depositary receipts also involve substantially identical risks to those associated with investments in foreign securities. Additionally, the issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, have 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.

High Yield Securities Risk. For Financial Preferred Portfolio and High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, high yield securities typically involve greater risk and are less liquid than higher grade issues. Changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers and changes in interest rates may adversely impact the ability of issuers of high yield securities to make timely payments of interest and principal.

Preferred Securities Risk. Financial Preferred Portfolio faces special risks associated with investing in preferred securities. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of time. If the Fund owns a security that is deferring or omitting its distributions, the Fund may be required to report the distribution on its tax returns, even though it may not have received this income. Further, preferred securities may lose substantial value due to the omission or deferment of dividend payments. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt

 

 

  25  

 


 

 

instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment than more senior securities. In addition, in certain circumstances, an issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date, and this may negatively impact the return of the security.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-date.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund (except for Financial Preferred Portfolio and High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, which declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly) declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

G. Securities Lending

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, Financial Preferred Portfolio, High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily

 

 

  26  

 


 

 

less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, except for BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio, each of which pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the “Expense Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund (except for BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio) from exceeding 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year for the BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio) (the “Expense Cap”), through at least August 31, 2015. Offering costs excluded from the Expense Cap are: (a) initial legal fees pertaining to the Funds’ Shares offered for sale; (b) initial Securities and Exchange Commission and state registration fees; and (c) initial fees paid to be listed on an exchange. Unless the Adviser continues the Expense Agreement, it will terminate on August 31, 2015. The Expense Agreement cannot be terminated during its term. For each Fund, the Adviser did not waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses during the period under this Expense Cap.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Adviser waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio    $ 1,333   
Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio      147   
Financial Preferred Portfolio      1,429   
High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio      270   
International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio      340   

The Expense Agreement provides that the fees waived or expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee was waived or expense was borne by the Adviser, but no recapture payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap as specified above.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, there were no amounts available for potential recapture by the Adviser under the Expense Agreement.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for each Fund with the following entities (each, a “Licensor”):

 

Fund

  

Licensor

BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
Financial Preferred Portfolio    Wells Fargo Securities, LLC
High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio    NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.

 

 

  27  

 


 

 

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by its respective Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Funds are required to pay the sub-licensing fees that are shown on the Statements of Operations. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensors, and the Licensors make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of October 31, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 5. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2014, which expire as follows:

Note 7. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees and Officer of the Funds. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 8. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in

 

 

  29  

 


 

 

the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 9. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolio. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolio invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9, 2000 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-three portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio (PBE)    “Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio (PKB)    “Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Energy Exploration & Production Portfolio (PXE)    “Dynamic Energy Exploration & Production Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio (PBJ)    “Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio (PEJ)    “Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio (PBS)    “Dynamic Media Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio (PXQ)    “Dynamic Networking Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Oil & Gas Services Portfolio (PXJ)    “Dynamic Oil & Gas Services Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio (PJP)    “Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio (PMR)    “Dynamic Retail Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio (PSI)    “Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio”
PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio (PSJ)    “Dynamic Software Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and ask prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a 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 securities a 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, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. 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. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

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

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.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-date.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

G. Securities Lending

During the six-months period ended October 31, 2014, Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio and Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the “Expense Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”), through at least August 31, 2015. Offering costs excluded from the Expense Cap are: (a) initial legal fees pertaining to the Funds’ Shares offered for sale; (b) initial Securities and Exchange Commission and state registration fees; and (c) initial fees paid to be listed on an exchange. Unless the Adviser continues the Expense Agreement, it will terminate on August 31, 2015. The Expense Agreement cannot be terminated during its term. The Adviser did not waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses during the period under this Expense Cap for Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, Dynamic Energy Exploration & Production Portfolio, Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, Dynamic Media Portfolio, Dynamic Oil & Gas Services Portfolio and Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for each Fund with NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Licensor”). Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Funds are required to pay the sub-licensing fees that are shown on the Statements of Operations. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Investments in Affiliates

The 1940 Act defines “affiliate” to include issuers of which a fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities. The following is a summary of the transactions with affiliates for the six-months period ended October 31, 2014:

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of October 31, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2014, which expire as follows:

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees and Officer of the Funds. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9, 2000 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-three portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares DWA Basic Materials Momentum Portfolio (PYZ)    “DWA Basic Materials Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Consumer Cyclicals Momentum Portfolio (PEZ)    “DWA Consumer Cyclicals Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Consumer Staples Momentum Portfolio (PSL)    “DWA Consumer Staples Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio (PXI)    “DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Financial Momentum Portfolio (PFI)    “DWA Financial Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Healthcare Momentum Portfolio (PTH)    “DWA Healthcare Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Industrials Momentum Portfolio (PRN)    “DWA Industrials Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Technology Momentum Portfolio (PTF)    “DWA Technology Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares DWA Utilities Momentum Portfolio (PUI)    “DWA Utilities Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio (PNQI)    “NASDAQ Internet Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc., except for Shares of NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, which are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies:

 

 

  38  

 


 

 

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per Share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and ask prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

 

 

  39  

 


 

 

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a 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 securities a 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, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. NASDAQ Internet Portfolio is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. 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. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

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

Momentum Investing Risk. Each Fund (except NASDAQ Internet Portfolio) employs a “momentum” style of investing that is subject to the risk that the securities may be more volatile than the market as a whole, or that the returns on securities that have previously exhibited price momentum are less than returns on other styles of investing. Momentum can turn quickly, and stocks that previously exhibited high momentum may not experience continued positive momentum. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style of investing is out of favor and therefore, the investment performance of the Fund may suffer.

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.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-date.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.

Each Fund (except for NASDAQ Internet Portfolio) is responsible for all of its expenses, including the investment advisory fees, costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with executions of portfolio transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust’s Board members who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members’ services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for the Independent Trustees, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses.

NASDAQ Internet Portfolio has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal year-end.

G. Securities Lending

During the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, DWA Basic Materials Momentum Portfolio and NASDAQ Internet Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services. Each Fund (except for NASDAQ Internet Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As compensation for its services, NASDAQ Internet Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the “Expense Agreement”) with the Trust on behalf of each Fund (excluding NASDAQ Internet Portfolio), pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses (excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, offering costs, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, and extraordinary expenses) of each Fund (except NASDAQ Internet Portfolio) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per year (the “Expense Cap”), through at least August 31, 2015.

for sale; (b) initial Securities and Exchange Commission and state registration fees; and (c) initial fees paid to be listed on an exchange. Unless the Adviser continues the Expense Agreement, it will terminate on August 31, 2015. The Expense Agreement cannot be terminated during its term.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of each Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended October 31, 2014, the Adviser waived fees and/or paid Fund expenses for each Fund in the following amounts:

 

DWA Basic Materials Momentum Portfolio    $ 41,155   
DWA Consumer Cyclicals Momentum Portfolio      53,231   
DWA Consumer Staples Momentum Portfolio      39,803   
DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio      137,779   
DWA Financial Momentum Portfolio      41,668

DWA Technology Momentum Portfolio      47,541   
DWA Utilities Momentum Portfolio      39,442   
NASDAQ Internet Portfolio      56   

The Expense Agreement provides that the fees waived or expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee was waived or expense was borne by the Adviser, but no recapture payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding its Expense Cap as specified above. The Expense Agreement does not apply to NASDAQ Internet Portfolio.

For the following Funds, the amounts available for potential future recapture by the Adviser under the Expense Agreement and the expiration schedule at October 31, 2014 are as follows:

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Fund listed below, as of October 31, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedules of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

 

 

  43  

 


 

 

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2014, which expire as follows:

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to the Independent Trustees and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation for NASDAQ Internet Portfolio. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the Plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Trust’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (excluding PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio), you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares DWA Financial Momentum Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolio. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolio invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.
