The PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio (Fund) is based on the KBW Financial Sector Dividend Yield Index (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. The Index is calculated using a dividend yield weighted methodology that seeks to reflect the performance of approximately 24 to 40 publicly listed financial companies that are principally engaged in the business of providing financial services and products, including banking, insurance and diversified financial services, in the United States. The Index may also include securities of BDCs and equity and mortgage REITs. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.
