Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Adviser has waived fees and reimbursed other expenses, absent which, performance would have been lower. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through August 31, 2012.

In the Financial Highlights section of this Shareholder Report, the Fund's net total operating expense ratio was determined to be 0.70%, while the Fund's gross total expense ratio was determined to be 1.00%. NAV and Share Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Share Price, respectively.

Manager's Analysis

PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio (ticker: PGF)

The PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the Wells Fargo® Hybrid & Preferred Securities Financial Index (the "Index").

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, the Fund returned 15.57%. Over this same year the Index returned 16.94% while the S&P Preferred Stock Index returned 12.59% and the S&P 500® Index returned 17.24%. Because the Index does not comply with the tax diversification requirements to which the Fund must adhere, the Fund may not be able to invest in all of the stocks comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index at all times, which contributed to the difference between the Fund and the Index performance, beyond regular Fund expenses, can be attributed to the Fund's sampling methodology.

Fund Inception: September 15, 2005

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Adviser has waived fees and reimbursed other expenses, absent which, performance would have been lower. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through August 31, 2012. According to the Fund's current prospectus, the total gross annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.57%. In the Financial Highlights section of this Shareholder Report, the Fund's net and gross total operating expense ratios were determined to be 0.58%. NAV and Share Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Share Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invescopowershares.com to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in its constituent securities. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.

The Dow Jones EPAC Select Dividend Index, MSCI EAFE® Value Index and S&P 500® Index (the "Benchmark Indices") are unmanaged indices used as a measurement of change in stock market conditions based on the average performance of approximately 100, 300 and 500 common stocks, respectively.

  Fund and underlying Index returns are based on the inception date of the Fund. Returns for the Benchmark Indices are based on the closest month-end to the Fund's inception date.

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 April 30, 2011.

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.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent half-year may differ from expense ratios based on the annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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 April 30, 2011, the Trust offered fifty-six portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio   "Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   "Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio"  
PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio   "Financial Preferred Portfolio"  
PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend
AchieversTM Portfolio
  "High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM
Portfolio"
 
PowerShares International Dividend
AchieversTM Portfolio
  "International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio"
 

 

Each portfolio (the "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 the NYSE Arca, Inc. The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. 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 generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. 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 correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Fund   Index  
Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio   Share BuyBack AchieversTM Index  
Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   Broad Dividend AchieversTM Index  
Financial Preferred Portfolio   Wells Fargo® Hybrid & Preferred Securities
Financial Index
 
High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   Mergent Dividend AchieversTM 50 Index  
International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   International Dividend AchieversTM Index  

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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 bonds) 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. Listed options, if no closing price is available, 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.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers 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.

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

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio are considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

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 the 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. For Financial Preferred Portfolio, because the Fund's Underlying Index does not meet the diversification requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund may not be able to invest in all of the stocks comprising its Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings in the Underlying Index at all times.

Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk. With respect to International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. As certain Funds will invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Fund's returns.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily 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


37



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

overall securities market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Preferred Securities Risk. There are special risks associated with the Financial Preferred Portfolio's investments 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 may also be subordinated to bonds or other debt 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. Certain of the companies that comprise the Fund's Underlying Index, while traded on U.S. exchanges, may be issued by foreign financial institutions and, therefore, subject the Fund to the risks of investing in securities issued by foreign companies.

High Yield Securities Risk. With respect to Financial Preferred Portfolio investments in high yield securities may involve greater risk and are generally less liquid than higher grade issues. The ability of issuers of high yield securities to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely impacted by changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of 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.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These 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 tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and 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 Income and Investment Transactions

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

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses 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 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 Intellidex or Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust's Board members and officers who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members' services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for those members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and extraordinary expenses.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund (except for the High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio, which declare and pay dividends, if any, monthly) declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with 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 period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser 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 the Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio and Financial Preferred Portfolio, which pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of that Fund's average daily net assets.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement ("Excess Expense Agreement") with the Trust, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes and

extraordinary expenses) 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"), at least until August 31, 2012. 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.

The Excess Expense Agreement provides that the expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee 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 amounts available for potential future recapture by the Adviser under the Excess Expense Agreement and the expiration schedule at April 30, 2011 are as follows:

    Total Potential   Potential Recapture Amounts Expiring  
    Recapture Amounts   04/30/12   04/30/13   04/30/14

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 Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for each Fund with the following Licensors:

Fund   Licensor  
Buyback AchieversTM Portfolio   Mergent, Inc.  
Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   Mergent, Inc.  
Financial Preferred Portfolio   Wells Fargo Securities, LLC  
High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   Mergent, Inc.  
International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio   Mergent, Inc.  

 

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the respective Licensors. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use with the Funds. 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 these Funds. The Trust has entered into a sub-licensing agreement under which the Funds are required to pay the sub-licensing fees which are shown on the Statements of Operations.

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 and fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

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 the 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 April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued 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.

With respect to each Fund, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 8. Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of investment activity, on April 30, 2011, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income (loss), undistributed net realized gain (loss) and Share of beneficial interest. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of each Fund. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, the reclassifications were as follows:

    Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)
  Undistributed
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)

Note 9. Trustees' Fees

The Funds compensate each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, a 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 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.

Note 10. Capital

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

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios indicated in Note 1 of the financial statements (each a portfolio of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at April 30, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's expense ratio and advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund is:

•  0.50% of the Fund's average net assets, for each Fund other than PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio;

•  0.40% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio; and

•  0.29% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio.


55



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses (an "Expense Cap") to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of each Fund from exceeding the percentage of that Fund's average daily net assets, at least until August 31, 2012, as set forth below:

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (the Trustees noted that the Expense Cap for each of these Funds was reduced to 0.50% effective July 1, 2010);

•  0.39%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio; and

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each other Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than

the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees determined that the advisory fees were reasonable, noting the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds, and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. With respect to the Funds' expense ratios, the Trustees noted that the net expense ratio for each Fund was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or less than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio, PowerShares Cleantech(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Sector Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted that a significant component of the non-advisory fee expenses was the license fees paid by the Funds, and those Funds for which license fees are included in the Funds' Expense Caps.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund (giving effect to the Fund's Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Also at the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Adviser proposed reducing the annual advisory fee for each of PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio (each, a "Style Fund") effective June 16, 2011. The Adviser also proposed revising each Style Fund's Expense Cap that is in place until August 31, 2012 to further reduce each Style Fund's annual operating expenses effective June 16, 2011. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided to each Style Fund in connection with the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to reflect the advisory fee changes. The Board concluded for each Style Fund that the reduced advisory fee was appropriate, and determined to approve the amended Investment Advisory Agreement and amended Expense Cap, effective June 16, 2011.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size, expense ratio and expense limitation agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that, for Funds whose expenses are higher than their respective Expense Caps, any reduction in that Fund's expenses would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that Fund shareholders benefit from the lower expense ratio as a result of the Fund's Expense Cap. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by each Fund, other than PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in a Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate, noting the Fund expenses the Adviser has borne as a result of the Expense Cap.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fees and Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, you incur advisory fees and other Fund expenses fee. 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 April 30, 2011.

In pursuing their investment objective, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio (the "Portfolios") may invest a portion of their assets in investment companies. Each Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which each Portfolio invests. The effect of such expenses 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, if these transactional costs 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 April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the one year data in the Financial Highlights.

April 30, 2011

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 April 30, 2011, the Trust offered fifty-six portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Fund Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio   "Aerospace & Defense Portfolio"  
PowerShares CleantechTM Portfolio   "CleantechTM Portfolio"  
PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio   "DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio"  
PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio   "Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio"  
PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China
Portfolio
  "Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio"
 
PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio   "Lux Nanotech Portfolio"  
PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core
Portfolio (formerly PowerShares Value Line
  "Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio"
 
Industry Rotation Portfolio)    
PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio   "S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio"  
PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio   "S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio"

Select Portfolio)    
PowerShares Water Resources Portfolio   "Water Resources Portfolio"  
PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio   "WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio"  
PowerShares WilderHill Progressive
Energy Portfolio
  "WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio"
 

 

Each portfolio (the "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 the NYSE Arca, Inc.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. 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 generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. 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 correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Fund   Index  
Aerospace & Defense Portfolio   SPADETM Defense Index  
CleantechTM Portfolio   The Cleantech IndexTM  
DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio   Dorsey Wright Technical LeadersTM Index  
Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio   Global Listed Private Equity IndexSM

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with General Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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 bonds) 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. Listed options, if no closing price is available, 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.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 are

 


75



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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 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.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers 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.

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

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

With respect to the Water Resources Portfolio, the Fund's use of a representative sampling approach will result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in its Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting 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.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Except for CleantechTM Portfolio, each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.


76



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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 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 is customarily 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 are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Foreign Investment Risk. The CleantechTM Portfolio's, the Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio's and the Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio's investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, including depositary receipts, involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. As certain Funds will invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Fund's returns.

Risk of Investing in Listed Private Equity Companies. There are certain risks inherent in the Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio's investments 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 privately-held companies. The 1940 Act imposes certain restraints upon the operations of a BDC. Generally, little public information exists for private and 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 only incur indebtedness 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. To the extent that the Fund invests in BDCs or other investment companies, a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly the expenses of the BDCs or other investment companies.

The Fund may not acquire greater than 3% of the total outstanding shares of BDCs or other investment companies. As a result, this limitation could inhibit the Fund's ability to purchase certain of the securities in the Underlying Index in the proportions represented in the Underlying Index. In these circumstances, the Fund would be required to use sampling techniques which could increase the risk of tracking error.

Risks of Investing in MLP Units. The Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio's investments in master limited partnerships ("MLP") units are subject to certain risks inherent in the structure of MLPs, including (i) tax risks, (ii) the limited ability to elect or remove management or the general partner or managing member, (iii) limited voting rights and (iv) conflicts of interest between the general partner or managing member and its affiliates and the limited partners or members.


77



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

China Exposure Risk. The value of the securities of companies which derive the majority of their revenues from China included in the Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio is likely to be more volatile than that of other issuers. The economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, among others.

Nanotechnology Industry Concentration Risk. Small technology companies included in the Lux Nanotech Portfolio are especially risky and may be less experienced, with limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Consequently, these companies are subject to scientific, technological and commercialization risks. These securities have a significantly greater risk of loss than traditional investment securities due to the speculative nature of these investments. Technology companies are generally subject to the risk of rapidly changing technologies, a limited product life span due to the frequent introduction of new or improved products, as well as cyclical market patterns and evolving industry standards. Technology companies also face the risk of losing patent, copyright and trademark protections.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of 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.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These 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 tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and 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 Income and Investment Transactions

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

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses 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 S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio) is responsible for all 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


78



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

transactions, sub-licensing fees related to its respective Underlying Intellidex or Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust's Board members and officers who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members' services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for those members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and extraordinary expenses.

The S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other 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 on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with 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 period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

H. Option Contracts Written

The 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 a Fund writes (sells) call options, the amount of the premium received is recorded as a liability in the Statement 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 Statement 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


79



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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.

Note 3. Derivative Investments

S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio has implemented required disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with GAAP. This disclosure is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position and financial performance. The enhanced disclosure has no impact on the results of operations reported in the financial statements.

Note 4. 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 as the Funds' investment adviser 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) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. 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 and 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, litigation expenses, and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Adviser's parent, Invesco Ltd., has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and the Independent Trustees (as defined herein) of the Trust against any and all loss, damages, liability and expenses arising from certain alleged omission or misstatement in the Fund's registration statement.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the "Excess Expense Agreement") with the Trust, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of (i) each Fund (except for Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio and S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio) (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment company and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year and (ii) each of Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, offering costs, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.50% of the Funds average daily net assets per year (the "Expense Cap"), at least until August 31, 2012. 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.

The Excess Expense Agreement provides that the expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee 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.

Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the respective Licensors. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use with the Funds. 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 these Funds. The Trust has entered into a sub-licensing agreement under which the Funds (other than the S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio) are required to pay the sub-licensing fees which are shown on the Statements of Operations.

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 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 and 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 the 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 April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs. The appreciation 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 10. Trustees' Fees

The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation for S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do 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.

Note 11. Capital

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

Note 12. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios indicated in Note 1 of the financial statements (each a portfolio of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at April 30, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services


98



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's expense ratio and advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund is:

•  0.50% of the Fund's average net assets, for each Fund other than PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio;

•  0.40% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio; and

•  0.29% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio.


99



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses (an "Expense Cap") to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of each Fund from exceeding the percentage of that Fund's average daily net assets, at least until August 31, 2012, as set forth below:

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (the Trustees noted that the Expense Cap for each of these Funds was reduced to 0.50% effective July 1, 2010);

•  0.39%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio; and

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each other Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than


100



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees determined that the advisory fees were reasonable, noting the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds, and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. With respect to the Funds' expense ratios, the Trustees noted that the net expense ratio for each Fund was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or less than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio, PowerShares CleantechTM Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Sector Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted that a significant component of the non-advisory fee expenses was the license fees paid by the Funds, and those Funds for which license fees are included in the Funds' Expense Caps.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund (giving effect to the Fund's Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.


101



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Also at the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Adviser proposed reducing the annual advisory fee for each of PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio (each, a "Style Fund") effective June 16, 2011. The Adviser also proposed revising each Style Fund's Expense Cap that is in place until August 31, 2012 to further reduce each Style Fund's annual operating expenses effective June 16, 2011. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided to each Style Fund in connection with the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to reflect the advisory fee changes. The Board concluded for each Style Fund that the reduced advisory fee was appropriate, and determined to approve the amended Investment Advisory Agreement and amended Expense Cap, effective June 16, 2011.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size, expense ratio and expense limitation agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that, for Funds whose expenses are higher than their respective Expense Caps, any reduction in that Fund's expenses would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that Fund shareholders benefit from the lower expense ratio as a result of the Fund's Expense Cap. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by each Fund, other than PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in a Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate, noting the Fund expenses the Adviser has borne as a result of the Expense Cap.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

At a meeting held on April 14, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the "Trust"), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") and the Trust for PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's oversight of the execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's total expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual unitary advisory fee is 0.60% for PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio and 0.75% for PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio, and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses.


103



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee for each Fund was equal to or lower than the median expense ratios of its ETF peer funds, open-end index peer funds and open-end actively-managed peer funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund's advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Adviser has waived fees and reimbursed other expenses, absent which, performance would have been lower. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through August 31, 2012. According to the Fund's current prospectus, the total gross annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.95%. In the Financial Highlights section of this Shareholder Report, the Fund's net total operating expense ratio was determined to be 0.63%, while the Fund's gross total expense ratio was determined to be 0.89%. NAV and Share Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Share Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invescopowershares.com to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in its constituent securities. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.

The S&P Utilities Index, Dow Jones U.S. Utilities Index and S&P 500® Index (the "Benchmark Indices") are unmanaged indices used as a measurement of change in stock market conditions based on the average performance of approximately 33, 15 and 500 common stocks, respectively.

  Fund and underlying Index returns are based on the inception date of the Fund. Returns for the Benchmark Indices are based on the closest month-end to the Fund's inception date.

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 April 30, 2011.

In pursuing its investment objective, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio (the "Portfolio") may invest a portion of its assets in investment companies. The Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. The effect of such expenses are included in the 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, if these transactional costs 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 April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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 April 30, 2011, the Trust offered fifty-six portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials
Sector Portfolio
  "Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary
Sector Portfolio
  "Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector
Portfolio"
 
PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples
Sector Portfolio
  "Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector
Portfolio"
 
PowerShares Dynamic Energy Sector Portfolio   "Dynamic Energy Sector Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio   "Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Sector Portfolio   "Dynamic Healthcare Sector Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio   "Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio   "Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Portfolio   "Dynamic Utilities Portfolio"  
PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio   "NASDAQ Internet Portfolio"  

 

Each portfolio (the "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 the NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") except for Shares of the NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, which are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. 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 generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Fund   Index  
Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio   Dynamic Basic Materials Sector IntellidexSM Index  
Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio   Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector
IntellidexSM Index
 
Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio   Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector IntellidexSM

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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 bonds) 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. Listed options, if no closing price is available, 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.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 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 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 depository 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.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers 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.

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

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Dynamic Utilities Portfolio and NASDAQ Internet Portfolio are considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

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 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 is customarily 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 are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of 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


59

realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These 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 tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and 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 Income and Investment Transactions

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

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust, that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses 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 Intellidex or Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust's Board members and officers who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members' services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for those members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and extraordinary expenses.

Expenses included for Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, 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 the investment companies' expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain (loss) on the investments in the investment companies.

The NASDAQ Internet Portfolio has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser"). The Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other 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 on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with 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 period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

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 as the Funds' investment adviser 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. The 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 and the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the NASDAQ Internet Portfolio, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Adviser has entered into an Amended and Restated Excess Expense Agreement (the "Excess Expense Agreement") with the Trust, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund other than the NASDAQ Internet Portfolio (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year (the "Expense Cap"), at least until August 31, 2012. 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.

The Excess Expense Agreement provides that the expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee 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 Excess Expense Agreement does not apply to the NASDAQ Internet Portfolio.

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 the 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 April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued 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.

With respect to each Fund, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation on behalf of the NASDAQ Internet Portfolio. The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do not receive any Trustees' fees.


66



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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.

Note 9. Capital

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

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios indicated in Note 1 of the financial statements (each a portfolio of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at April 30, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's expense ratio and advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund is:

•  0.50% of the Fund's average net assets, for each Fund other than PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio;

•  0.40% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio; and

•  0.29% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio.


78



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses (an "Expense Cap") to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of each Fund from exceeding the percentage of that Fund's average daily net assets, at least until August 31, 2012, as set forth below:

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (the Trustees noted that the Expense Cap for each of these Funds was reduced to 0.50% effective July 1, 2010);

•  0.39%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio; and

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each other Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than


79



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees determined that the advisory fees were reasonable, noting the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds, and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. With respect to the Funds' expense ratios, the Trustees noted that the net expense ratio for each Fund was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or less than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio, PowerShares Cleantech(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Sector Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted that a significant component of the non-advisory fee expenses was the license fees paid by the Funds, and those Funds for which license fees are included in the Funds' Expense Caps.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund (giving effect to the Fund's Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.


80



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Also at the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Adviser proposed reducing the annual advisory fee for each of PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio (each, a "Style Fund") effective June 16, 2011. The Adviser also proposed revising each Style Fund's Expense Cap that is in place until August 31, 2012 to further reduce each Style Fund's annual operating expenses effective June 16, 2011. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided to each Style Fund in connection with the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to reflect the advisory fee changes. The Board concluded for each Style Fund that the reduced advisory fee was appropriate, and determined to approve the amended Investment Advisory Agreement and amended Expense Cap, effective June 16, 2011.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size, expense ratio and expense limitation agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that, for Funds whose expenses are higher than their respective Expense Caps, any reduction in that Fund's expenses would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that Fund shareholders benefit from the lower expense ratio as a result of the Fund's Expense Cap. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by each Fund, other than PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in a Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate, noting the Fund expenses the Adviser has borne as a result of the Expense Cap.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.


81



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement

At a meeting held on April 14, 2011, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the "Trust"), including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") and the Trust for PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's oversight of the execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's total expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual unitary advisory fee is 0.60% for PowerShares NASDAQ Internet Portfolio and 0.75% for PowerShares S&P 500 BuyWrite Portfolio, and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses.


82



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee for each Fund was equal to or lower than the median expense ratios of its ETF peer funds, open-end index peer funds and open-end actively-managed peer funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund's advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Fund Inception: August 18, 2005

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Adviser has waived fees and reimbursed other expenses, absent which, performance would have been lower. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through August 31, 2012. According to the Fund's current prospectus, the total gross annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.97% and includes estimated acquired fund fees and expenses of 0.04%. In the Financial Highlights section of this Shareholder Report, the Fund's net total operating expense ratio was determined to be 0.70%, while the Fund's gross total expense ratio was determined to be 0.85%. NAV and Share Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Share Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invescopowershares.com to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in its constituent securities. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.

The Russell Microcap® Index, Dow Jones Micro Cap Index and S&P 500® Index (the "Benchmark Indices") are unmanaged indices used as a measurement of change in stock market conditions based on the average performance of approximately 1,000, 205 and 500 common stocks, respectively.

  Fund and underlying Index returns are based on the inception date of the Fund. Returns for the Benchmark Indices are based on the closest month-end to the Fund's inception date.

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 April 30, 2011.

In pursuing its investment objective, PowerShares Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio (the "Portfolio") may invest a portion of its assets in investment companies. The Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. The effect of such expenses are included in the 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, if these transactional costs 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 ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent half-year differ from expense ratios based on annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

Each portfolio (the "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 the NYSE Arca, Inc.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. 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 of each Fund are issued and redeemed generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. 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 correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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 bonds) 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. Listed options, if no closing price is available, 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.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 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 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.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers 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.

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

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

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 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 is customarily 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 are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Large Capitalization Company Risk. Returns on investments in securities of large capitalization U.S. companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of smaller companies.

Micro Capitalization Company Risk. The Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio's investments in the securities of micro capitalization companies involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations. Micro


65



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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.

Growth Investing Style Risk. The Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, Mid Cap Growth Portfolio and Small Cap Growth Portfolio emphasize a "growth" style of investing. The market values of such 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 markets.

Value Investing Style Risk. The Dynamic Large Cap Value Portfolio, Mid Cap Value Portfolio and Small Cap Value Portfolio emphasize undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on "value" equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. Thus, the value of the 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 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.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These 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 tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and 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 Income and Investment Transactions

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

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses 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.


66



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

Each Fund is responsible for all 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 Intellidex or Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust's Board members and officers who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members' services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for those members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and extraordinary expenses.

Expenses included for Zacks Micro Cap Portfolio, 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 the investment companies expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain/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 on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with 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 period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser 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 "Excess Expense Agreement") with the Trust, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes, expenses of the investment companies that are paid indirectly as a result of share ownership of the investment companies, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year (the "Expense Cap"), at least until August 31, 2012. 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.

accountant and transfer agent for each Fund. The Distributor is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. and therefore, is considered to be affiliated with the Funds.

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 the 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 April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued 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.

With respect to each Fund, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of investment activity, on April 30, 2011, amounts were reclassified between undistributed net investment income (loss), undistributed net realized loss and Shares of beneficial interest.

    Undistributed

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do 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 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.

Note 9. Capital

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

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.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved a change to the name, the investment objective and the principal investment strategies of the PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio (the "Fund"), effective June 16, 2011.

At that time, the Fund will amend its current investment objective of seeking investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield of the equity index called the Dynamic Large Cap IntellidexSM Index. Instead, the Fund will seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield of the RAFI® Fundamental Large Core Index (the "Index"). The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the component securities that comprise the Index.

The expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios indicated in Note 1 of the financial statements (each a portfolio of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at April 30, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's expense ratio and advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund is:

•  0.50% of the Fund's average net assets, for each Fund other than PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio;

•  0.40% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio; and

•  0.29% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio.


86



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses (an "Expense Cap") to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of each Fund from exceeding the percentage of that Fund's average daily net assets, at least until August 31, 2012, as set forth below:

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend Achievers(TM) Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (the Trustees noted that the Expense Cap for each of these Funds was reduced to 0.50% effective July 1, 2010);

•  0.39%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio; and

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each other Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than


87



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees determined that the advisory fees were reasonable, noting the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds, and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. With respect to the Funds' expense ratios, the Trustees noted that the net expense ratio for each Fund was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or less than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio, PowerShares Cleantech(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Technical Leaders(TM) Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Sector Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted that a significant component of the non-advisory fee expenses was the license fees paid by the Funds, and those Funds for which license fees are included in the Funds' Expense Caps.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund (giving effect to the Fund's Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.


88



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Also at the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Adviser proposed reducing the annual advisory fee for each of PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio (each, a "Style Fund") effective June 16, 2011. The Adviser also proposed revising each Style Fund's Expense Cap that is in place until August 31, 2012 to further reduce each Style Fund's annual operating expenses effective June 16, 2011. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided to each Style Fund in connection with the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to reflect the advisory fee changes. The Board concluded for each Style Fund that the reduced advisory fee was appropriate, and determined to approve the amended Investment Advisory Agreement and amended Expense Cap, effective June 16, 2011.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size, expense ratio and expense limitation agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that, for Funds whose expenses are higher than their respective Expense Caps, any reduction in that Fund's expenses would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that Fund shareholders benefit from the lower expense ratio as a result of the Fund's Expense Cap. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by each Fund, other than PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in a Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate, noting the Fund expenses the Adviser has borne as a result of the Expense Cap.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Adviser has waived fees and reimbursed other expenses, absent which, performance would have been lower. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay certain Fund expenses through August 31, 2012. According to the Fund's current prospectus, the total gross annual operating expense ratio was indicated as 0.98%. In the Financial Highlights section of this Shareholder Report, the Fund's net total operating expense ratio was determined to be 0.65%, while the Fund's gross total expense ratio was determined to be 1.08%. NAV and Share Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Share Price, respectively. The returns shown in the table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund Shares. See invescopowershares.com to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in its constituent securities. Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index does not charge management fees or brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the hypothetical performance shown. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Fund.

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 April 30, 2011.

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.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six months ended April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent half-year may differ from expense ratios based on the one year data in the Financial Highlights.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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 April 30, 2011, the Trust offered fifty-six portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Dynamic MagniQuant Portfolio   "Dynamic MagniQuant Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio   "Dynamic Market Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio   "Dynamic OTC Portfolio"  
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio   "FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio"  
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid
Portfolio
  "FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio"
 

 

Each portfolio (the "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 the NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca"), except for Shares of the FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio which is listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. 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 generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. 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 correspond (before the Fund's fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of the following indices (each, an "Underlying Index"):

Fund   Index  
Dynamic MagniQuant Portfolio   Dynamic Top 200 IntellidexSM Index  
Dynamic Market Portfolio   Dynamic Market IntellidexSM Index  
Dynamic OTC Portfolio   Dynamic OTC 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

A. Security Valuation

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

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible bonds) 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. Listed options, if no closing price is available, 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.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 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 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.


60



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers 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.

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

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

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 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 is customarily 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 are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of 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.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These 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.


61



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

The Funds file tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and 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 Income and Investment Transactions

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

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses 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 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 Intellidex or Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust's Board members and officers who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members' services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for those members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust 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 them on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with 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 period-end.

G. Equalization

All Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser 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 the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and the FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual fee of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Each of the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and the 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 "Excess Expense Agreement") with the Trust. For the Dynamic MagniQuant Portfolio, Dynamic Market Portfolio and the Dynamic OTC Portfolio, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year (the "Expense Cap"), at least until August 31, 2012. The FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio's and the FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio's Expense Cap is 0.39% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year, at least until August 31, 2012, and sub-licensing fees are included in the expenses subject to the Expense Cap. 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 Dynamic MagniQuant Portfolio, the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and the FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, the Excess Expense Agreement provides that the expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee 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 Dynamic Market Portfolio and the Dynamic OTC Portfolio, the expenses borne by the Adviser are not subject to recapture.

The amounts available for potential future recapture by the Adviser under the Excess Expense Agreement and the expiration schedule at April 30, 2011 are as follows:

    Total Potential   Potential Recapture Amounts Expiring  
    Recapture Amounts   04/30/12   04/30/13   04/30/14  
Dynamic MagniQuant Portfolio   $ 317,352     $ 96,659     $ 99,281     $ 121,412

Portfolio
    671,653       228,798       201,979       240,876    

 

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 Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

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


64



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

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 the 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 April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued 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.

With respect to each Fund, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 9. Trustees' Fees

The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an 'interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do 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.

Note 10. Capital

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

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios indicated in Note 1 of the financial statements (each a portfolio of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at April 30, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are


78



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's expense ratio and advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund is:

•  0.50% of the Fund's average net assets, for each Fund other than PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio;

•  0.40% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio; and

•  0.29% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio.


79



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses (an "Expense Cap") to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of each Fund from exceeding the percentage of that Fund's average daily net assets, at least until August 31, 2012, as set forth below:

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (the Trustees noted that the Expense Cap for each of these Funds was reduced to 0.50% effective July 1, 2010);

•  0.39%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio; and

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each other Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than


80



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees determined that the advisory fees were reasonable, noting the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds, and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. With respect to the Funds' expense ratios, the Trustees noted that the net expense ratio for each Fund was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or less than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio, PowerShares CleantechTM Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Sector Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted that a significant component of the non-advisory fee expenses was the license fees paid by the Funds, and those Funds for which license fees are included in the Funds' Expense Caps.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund (giving effect to the Fund's Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.


81



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Also at the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Adviser proposed reducing the annual advisory fee for each of PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio (each, a "Style Fund") effective June 16, 2011. The Adviser also proposed revising each Style Fund's Expense Cap that is in place until August 31, 2012 to further reduce each Style Fund's annual operating expenses effective June 16, 2011. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided to each Style Fund in connection with the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to reflect the advisory fee changes. The Board concluded for each Style Fund that the reduced advisory fee was appropriate, and determined to approve the amended Investment Advisory Agreement and amended Expense Cap, effective June 16, 2011.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size, expense ratio and expense limitation agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that, for Funds whose expenses are higher than their respective Expense Caps, any reduction in that Fund's expenses would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that Fund shareholders benefit from the lower expense ratio as a result of the Fund's Expense Cap. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by each Fund, other than PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in a Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate, noting the Fund expenses the Adviser has borne as a result of the Expense Cap.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

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 April 30, 2011.

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 commission. 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.

(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 April 30, 2011. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund's annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period; then multiplying the result by 181 and then dividing the result by 365. Expense ratios for the most recent half-year differ from expense ratios based on annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

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 April 30, 2011, the Trust offered fifty-six portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

Full Name   Short Name  
PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio   "Dynamic Banking Portfolio"  
PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology &
Genome Portfolio

Each portfolio (the "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 the NYSE Arca, Inc.

The Funds' market prices may differ to some degree from the net asset value ("NAV") of the Shares of each Fund. 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 of each Fund are issued and redeemed generally in-kind for securities included in the relevant index. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America 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 bonds) 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. Listed options, if no closing price is available, 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.

Investments in open-end registered investment companies not traded on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.


67



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

April 30, 2011

Debt obligations (including convertible bonds) 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, yield, quality, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which approximates value. Debt securities are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities (including foreign exchange contracts) 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 New York Stock Exchange ("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 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 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.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers 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.

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

Replication Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund's respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily sell a security unless that security is removed from its respective Underlying Index.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund.

Concentration Risk. To the extent a Fund concentrates its investments in an industry or group of industries, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of Shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of securities.

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 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 is customarily 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 are focused are still evolving and may make them be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of 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.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These 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 tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and 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 Income and Investment Transactions

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign taxes withheld, if any. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the specific identified cost basis. Dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by


69

foreign countries. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

E. Expenses

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are applied to that Fund. Expenses 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 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 Intellidex or Underlying Index, any distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses, fees payable to the Trust's Board members and officers who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, expenses incurred in connection with the Board members' services, including travel expenses and legal fees of counsel for those members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust 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 on ex-dividend date. Each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, generally annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with 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 period-end.

G. Equalization

All of the Funds use the accounting practice of equalization. This accounting method is used to keep the continuing shareholder's per Share equity in undistributed net investment income from being affected by the continuous sales and redemptions of capital Shares. Equalization is calculated on a per Share basis whereby a portion of the proceeds from the sales and cost of repurchases of capital Shares is applied to undistributed net investment income. The amount of equalization is disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as undistributed net investment income (loss) included in the price of capital Shares issued or redeemed. The distributions to shareholders of amounts so applied may be deemed to be a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent that such distributions exceed taxable income.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility as the Funds' investment adviser 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 "Excess Expense Agreement") with the Trust, pursuant to which the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of each Fund (excluding interest

expense, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, sub-licensing fees, offering costs, taxes and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets per year (the "Expense Cap"), at least until August 31, 2012. 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.

The Excess Expense Agreement provides that the expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to recapture by the Adviser for up to three years from the date the fee 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 amounts available for potential future recapture by the Adviser under the Excess Expense Agreement and the expiration schedule at April 30, 2011 are as follows:

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 the 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 April 30, 2011, the securities in each Fund were valued 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.

With respect to each Fund, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

Note 8. Trustees' Fees

The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act (an "Independent Trustee"). The Non-Independent Trustees of the Trust do 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 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.

Note 9. Capital

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

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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios indicated in Note 1 of the financial statements (each a portfolio of PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at April 30, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at April 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are


87



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

realized as the Funds grow, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser's current organization and projected staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser's parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser's execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds and the performance of their underlying indices through December 31, 2010, including reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying index and each Fund's performance, as well as the Adviser's analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. The Trustees noted that, in each case, the correlation and tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust's registration statement. The Trustees concluded that each Fund was correlated to its underlying index and that the tracking error for each Fund was within an acceptable range given that Fund's particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds' administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund's expense ratio and advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund is:

•  0.50% of the Fund's average net assets, for each Fund other than PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio;

•  0.40% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio; and

•  0.29% of the Fund's average net assets, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio.


88



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or pay expenses (an "Expense Cap") to the extent necessary to prevent the annual operating expenses of each Fund from exceeding the percentage of that Fund's average daily net assets, at least until August 31, 2012, as set forth below:

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio and PowerShares International Dividend AchieversTM Portfolio;

•  0.50%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio (the Trustees noted that the Expense Cap for each of these Funds was reduced to 0.50% effective July 1, 2010);

•  0.39%, excluding interest expenses, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each of PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio and PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio; and

•  0.60%, excluding interest expenses, licensing fees, offering costs, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses, for each other Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not provide investment advisory services to any clients other than the Funds and other ETFs overseen by the Board. The Trustees noted that each Fund's advisory fee was:

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median advisory fee of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than


89



Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

the median advisory fee of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median advisory fee of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees determined that the advisory fees were reasonable, noting the complexity of the indices, which generally require more frequent rebalancing of the portfolios, the distinguishing factors of the Funds, and the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. With respect to the Funds' expense ratios, the Trustees noted that the net expense ratio for each Fund was:

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or less than the median expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

•  higher than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the net expense ratio of each of PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio, PowerShares CleantechTM Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Technical LeadersTM Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Biotechnology & Genome Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Building & Construction Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Discretionary Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Consumer Staples Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Financial Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Healthcare Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Industrials Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Morningstar StockInvestor Core Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Networking Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Retail Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Semiconductors Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Software Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Technology Sector Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Utilities Sector Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio, PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China Portfolio, PowerShares Lux Nanotech Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Quality Portfolio, which was equal to or lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds, and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio or PowerShares Global Listed Private Equity Portfolio); but

•  lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees noted that a significant component of the non-advisory fee expenses was the license fees paid by the Funds, and those Funds for which license fees are included in the Funds' Expense Caps.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee and expense ratio of each Fund (giving effect to the Fund's Expense Cap) were reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)

In conjunction with their review of fees, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, as well as the fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Also at the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Adviser proposed reducing the annual advisory fee for each of PowerShares Dynamic Large Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Mid Cap Value Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Growth Portfolio, PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic Small Cap Value Portfolio (each, a "Style Fund") effective June 16, 2011. The Adviser also proposed revising each Style Fund's Expense Cap that is in place until August 31, 2012 to further reduce each Style Fund's annual operating expenses effective June 16, 2011. The Board considered the Adviser's representation that there would be no diminution in the quantity or quality of services provided to each Style Fund in connection with the amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement to reflect the advisory fee changes. The Board concluded for each Style Fund that the reduced advisory fee was appropriate, and determined to approve the amended Investment Advisory Agreement and amended Expense Cap, effective June 16, 2011.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund's asset size, expense ratio and expense limitation agreed to by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that, for Funds whose expenses are higher than their respective Expense Caps, any reduction in that Fund's expenses would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that Fund shareholders benefit from the lower expense ratio as a result of the Fund's Expense Cap. The Trustees also noted that the Excess Expense Agreement with the Trust provides that the Adviser is entitled to be reimbursed by each Fund, other than PowerShares Dynamic Market Portfolio and PowerShares Dynamic OTC Portfolio, for fees waived or expenses absorbed pursuant to the Expense Cap for a period of three years from the date the fee or expense was incurred, provided that no reimbursement would be made that would result in a Fund exceeding its Expense Cap. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate, noting the Fund expenses the Adviser has borne as a result of the Expense Cap.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  This Code is filed as an exhibit to this report on Form N-CSR under Item 12(a)(1).   No substantive amendments to this Code were made during the reporting period. There were no waivers for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has three “audit committee financial experts” serving on its audit committee: Mr. Marc M. Kole, Mr. Philip M. Nussbaum, and Mr. Donald H. Wilson. Each of these audit committee members is “independent,” meaning that he is not an “interested person” of the Registrant (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940) and he does not accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Registrant (except in the capacity as a Board or committee member).

 

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.”   Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation.   Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of trustees.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) billed the Registrant aggregate fees for services rendered to the Registrant for the last two fiscal years as follows:

Audit Committee Pre Approval Policies and Procedures

 

PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

As Adopted by the Audit Committee of
the PowerShares Funds (the “Funds”)

June 26, 2009

 

Statement of Principles

 

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (“Rules”), the Audit Committee of the Funds’ (the “Audit Committee”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”) is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of independent accountants (an “Auditor”).  As part of this responsibility and to assure that the Auditor’s independence is not impaired, the Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services provided to the Funds by each Auditor, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Auditor to the Funds’ investment adviser and to affiliates of the adviser that provide ongoing services to the Funds (“Service Affiliates”) if the services directly impact the Funds’ operations or financial reporting.  The SEC Rules also specify the types of services that an Auditor may not provide to its audit client.  The following policies and procedures comply with the requirements for pre-approval and provide a mechanism by which management of the Funds may request and secure pre-approval of audit and non-audit services in an orderly manner with minimal disruption to normal business operations.

 

Proposed services either may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”) or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”).  As set forth in these policies and procedures, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.  Additionally, any fees exceeding 110% of estimated pre-approved fee levels provided at the time the service was pre-approved will also require specific approval by the Audit Committee before payment is made.  The Audit Committee will also consider the impact of additional fees on the Auditor’s independence when determining whether to approve any additional fees for previously pre-approved services.

 

The Audit Committee will annually review and generally pre-approve the services that may be provided by each Auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee.  The term of any general pre-approval runs from the date of such pre-approval through June 30th of the following year, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise.  The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

 

The purpose of these policies and procedures is to set forth the guidelines to assist the Audit Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities.

 



 

Delegation

 

The Chairman of the Audit Committee (or, in his or her absence, any member of the Audit Committee) may grant specific pre-approval for non-prohibited services for engagements of less than $20,000.  All such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

 

Audit Services

 

The annual audit services engagement terms will be subject to specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures such as tax provision work that is required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements.  The Audit Committee will obtain, review and consider sufficient information concerning the proposed Auditor to make a reasonable evaluation of the Auditor’s qualifications and independence.

 

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement, the Audit Committee may grant either general or specific pre-approval of other Audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide.  Other Audit services may include services such as issuing consents for the inclusion of audited financial statements with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

 

Non-Audit Services

 

The Audit Committee may provide either general or specific pre-approval of any non-audit services to the Funds and its Service Affiliates if the Audit Committee believes that the provision of the service will not impair the independence of the Auditor, is consistent with the SEC’s Rules on auditor independence, and otherwise conforms to the Audit Committee’s general principles and policies as set forth herein.

 

Audit-Related Services

 

“Audit-related services” are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Funds’ financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor.  Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “Audit services”; and assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities.

 

Tax Services

 

“Tax services” include, but are not limited to, the review and signing of the Funds’ federal tax returns, the review of required distributions by the Funds and consultations regarding tax matters such as the tax treatment of new investments or the impact of new regulations.  The Audit Committee will scrutinize carefully the retention of the Auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Auditor, the major business purpose of which may be tax avoidance or the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.  The Audit Committee will consult with the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and may consult with outside counsel or advisors as necessary to ensure the consistency of Tax services rendered by the Auditor with the foregoing policy.

 

No Auditor shall represent any Fund or any Service Affiliate before a tax court, district court or federal court of claims.

 

Under rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and approved by the SEC, in connection with seeking Audit Committee pre-approval of permissible Tax services, the Auditor shall:

 

1.               Describe in writing to the Audit Committee, which writing may be in the form of the proposed engagement letter:

 



 

a.               The scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the Fund, relating to the service; and

 

b.              Any compensation arrangement or other agreement, such as a referral agreement, a referral fee or fee-sharing arrangement, between the Auditor and any person (other than the Fund) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service;

 

2.               Discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the independence of the Auditor; and

 

3.               Document the substance of its discussion with the Audit Committee.

 

All Other Auditor Services

 

The Audit Committee may pre-approve non-audit services classified as “All other services” that are not categorically prohibited by the SEC, as listed in Exhibit 1 to this policy.

 

Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Established Amounts

 

Pre-approval of estimated fees or established amounts for services to be provided by the Auditor under general or specific pre-approval policies will be set periodically by the Audit Committee.  Any proposed fees exceeding 110% of the maximum estimated pre-approved fees or established amounts for pre-approved audit and non-audit services will be reported to the Audit Committee at the quarterly Audit Committee meeting and will require specific approval by the Audit Committee before payment is made.  The Audit Committee will always factor in the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services and in determining whether to approve any additional fees exceeding 110% of the maximum pre-approved fees or established amounts for previously pre-approved services.

 

Procedures

 

On an annual basis, the Auditor will submit to the Audit Committee for general pre-approval, a list of non-audit services that the Funds or Service Affiliates of the Funds may request from the Auditor.  The list will describe the non-audit services in reasonable detail and will include an estimated range of fees and such other information as the Audit Committee may request.

 

Each request for services to be provided by the Auditor under the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Funds’ Treasurer (or his or her designee) and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered.  The Treasurer or his or her designee will ensure that such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee will be informed at the next quarterly scheduled Audit Committee meeting of any such services for which the Auditor rendered an invoice and whether such services and fees had been pre-approved and if so, by what means.

 

Each request to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee shall be submitted to the Audit Committee jointly by the Funds’ Treasurer or his or her designee and the Auditor, and must include a joint statement that, in their view, such request is consistent with the pre-approval policies and procedures and the SEC Rules.

 

Each request to provide Tax services under either the general or specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee will describe in writing: (i) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement between the Auditor and the audit client, relating to the service; and (ii) any compensation arrangement or other agreement between the Auditor and any person (other than the audit client) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service.  The Auditor will discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effects of the services on the Auditor’s independence and will document the substance of the discussion.

 



 

Non-audit services pursuant to the de minimis exception provided by the SEC Rules will be promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee for approval, including documentation that each of the conditions for this exception, as set forth in the SEC Rules, has been satisfied.

 

On at least an annual basis, the Auditor will prepare a summary of all the services provided to any entity in the investment company complex as defined in section 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X in sufficient detail as to the nature of the engagement and the fees associated with those services.

 

The Audit Committee has designated the Funds’ Treasurer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Auditor and to ensure such services are in compliance with these policies and procedures.  The Funds’ Treasurer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis as to the results of such monitoring.  Both the Funds’ Treasurer and management will immediately report to the Chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of these policies and procedures that comes to the attention of the Funds’ Treasurer or senior management.

 

Exhibit 1 to Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services Policies and Procedures

 

Conditionally Prohibited Non-Audit Services (not prohibited if the Fund can reasonably conclude that the results of the service would not be subject to audit procedures in connection with the audit of the Fund’s financial statements)

 

·                  Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client

·                  Financial information systems design and implementation

·                  Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports

·                  Actuarial services

·                  Internal audit outsourcing services

 

Categorically Prohibited Non-Audit Services

 

·                  Management functions

·                  Human resources

·                  Broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services

·                  Legal services

·                  Expert services unrelated to the audit

·                  Any service or product provided for a contingent fee or a commission

·                  Services related to marketing, planning, or opining in favor of the tax treatment of confidential transactions or aggressive tax position transactions, a significant purpose of which is tax avoidance

·                  Tax services for persons in financial reporting oversight roles at the Fund

·                  Any other service that the Public Company Oversight Board determines by regulation is impermissible.

 

PwC advised the Registrant’s Audit Committee that PwC had identified a matter for consideration under the SEC’s auditor independence rules.  PwC stated that an immediate family member of a partner of PwC had invested in an affiliate of the Registrant, which constituted an investment in an affiliate of an audit client in violation of Rule 2-01(c)(1) of Regulation S-X.

 

PwC advised the Audit Committee that it believes its independence had not been adversely affected by this matter as it related to the audit of the Registrant.  In reaching this conclusion, PwC noted that during the time of its audit the engagement team was not aware of the investment, the violation was inadvertent, the violation was self-reported upon discovery and the investment disposed of, and the PwC partner was not involved in the Registrant’s audit.

 

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

 

The Registrant has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which consists of the independent trustees.
