The Market Environment

International Equity

The reporting period began with major US stock market indexes posting gains and most hitting record highs following the US presidential election. Investors believed that the new administration’s plans to reduce tax rates, scale back regulations and increase infrastructure spending had the potential to stimulate economic growth. However, that was called into question in the first quarter of 2017, when headlines out of Washington, DC, suggested that enacting significant regulatory and tax reform might be more difficult than previously anticipated.

Outside the US, Brexit (the UK’s plan to leave the European Union) remained a source of political and economic uncertainty, while improved economic data and confidence surveys raised the prospect of less accommodative monetary policy in continental Europe. In Asia, increased exports helped Japan’s economy, while China’s economy continued to stabilize. Most emerging markets performed well during the reporting period. In addition to an improving global economic outlook, other positive tailwinds for international markets included continued weakness in the US dollar and reduced expectations for a major shift in US trade policy.

Interestingly, while 2017 marked the eighth year of the global bull market, we saw a shift in leadership as international stocks outperformed US stocks in the first three quarters of 2017. International stocks had trailed US stocks for four consecutive years and in six of the last seven years. As the reporting period came to a close, both developed and emerging equity markets appeared somewhat fully valued in absolute terms, but they continued to trade at material discounts to the US market. In addition, recent earnings growth and earnings revision trends improved for many non-US developed markets.

PIN	Manager’s Analysis
	PowerShares India Portfolio (PIN)

As an index fund, the PowerShares India Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is passively managed and attempts to track the returns of an underlying index. The Portfolio seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the Indus India Index (the “Index”). The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the Republic of Mauritius (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary invests at least 90% of its total assets in securities of Indian companies that comprise the Index, as well as American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) and global depositary receipts (“GDRs”) based on the securities in the Index.

Indus Advisors LLC compiles the Index, which is comprised of Indian equity securities that are traded on regulated stock exchanges in India. The Index is designed to represent the large-cap segment of the Indian equity markets. The Portfolio, through its investment in the Subsidiary (collectively, the “Fund”), generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to their weightings in the Index.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, on a market price basis, the Fund returned 24.89%. On a net asset value (“NAV”) basis, the Fund returned 24.46%. During the same time period, the Index returned 25.86%. During the fiscal year, the Fund fully replicated the components of the Index; therefore, the Fund’s performance (NAV basis) differed from the return of the Index primarily due to fees and operating expenses the Fund incurred, as well as valuation differences between the Fund and the Index during the period.

During this same time period, the MSCI India Index (the “Benchmark Index”) returned 23.20%. The Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index weighted by market capitalization.

The Benchmark Index was selected for its recognition in the marketplace, and its performance comparison is a useful measure for investors as a representation of the Indian equity market. The performance of the Fund differed from the Benchmark Index in part because the Index and Benchmark Index employ different methodologies for weighting and security selection, and the Fund benefited from the particular weightings of the Index.

Relative to the Benchmark Index, the Fund was most overweight in the energy sector and most underweight in the consumer discretionary sector during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. The majority of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Benchmark Index during the period can be attributed to its allocation to the energy sector.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the energy sector contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return, followed by the financials and materials sectors, respectively. The health care sector was the only detracting sector.

Positions that contributed most significantly to the Fund’s return included Reliance Industries Ltd., an oil & gas refining & marketing company (portfolio average weight of 10.54%), and Housing Development Finance Corp., a financial services company (portfolio average weight of 5.47%). Positions that detracted most significantly from the Fund’s return included Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., a pharmaceuticals company (portfolio average weight of 3.86%), and Lupin Ltd., a pharmaceuticals company (portfolio average weight of 0.90%).

Performance quoted above 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 of the Fund (“Fund Shares”), when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the adviser not waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses currently or in the past, returns would have been lower. See current prospectus for more information. According to the Fund’s current prospectus, the Fund’s expense ratio of 0.80% includes the unitary management fee of 0.78% and other expenses of 0.02%. NAV and Market Price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and Market 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 powershares.com to find the most recent month-end performance numbers.

Index and Benchmark Index performance results are based upon a hypothetical investment in their respective constituent securities. Index and Benchmark Index returns do not represent Fund returns. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Index and Benchmark Index do 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.

^†  Fund, Index and Benchmark Index returns are based on the inception date of the Fund.

^††  Reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

PowerShares India Exchange-Traded Fund Trust

October 31, 2017

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares India Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 3, 2007 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of October 31, 2017, the Trust offered one portfolio, the PowerShares India Portfolio (PIN), an exchange-traded index fund (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio carries out its investment strategy by investing substantially all of its assets in PowerShares Mauritius, a wholly-owned subsidiary organized in Mauritius (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary invests at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Indus India Index (the “Underlying Index”), as well as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) based on securities in the Underlying Index. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to both the Portfolio and the Subsidiary (collectively the “Fund”). Through such investment structure, the Fund expects to obtain benefits from a tax treaty between Mauritius and India (the “Tax Treaty”). To obtain benefits under the Tax Treaty, the Subsidiary must meet certain tests and conditions, including the establishment of Mauritius tax residence.

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

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of its respective Underlying Index.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

A. Security Valuation

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

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked 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 asked prices. For purposes of determining NAV per Share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

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

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

11

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts’) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Adviser determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, 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. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/asked 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.

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

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

B. Other Risks

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

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only an authorized participant (“AP”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a Fund. Each Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). Such market makers have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders; consequently, there is no assurance that market makers will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to a Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, that Fund’s Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because the Fund is non-diversified and can invest, through the Subsidiary, a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. Because the Fund issues and redeems Creation Units principally for cash, it will incur higher costs in buying and selling securities than if it issued and redeemed Creation Units principally in-kind. In addition, the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

12

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities the Subsidiary holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities the Subsidiary holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Subsidiary invests. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities the Subsidiary holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities the Subsidiary holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Subsidiary’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

Currency Risk. The Fund, through the Subsidiary, invests in Indian rupee-denominated equity securities of Indian issuers. Because the Fund’s NAV is determined in U.S. dollars, the Fund’s NAV could decline if the Indian rupee depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the value of the Subsidiary’s holdings, measured in Indian rupees, increases.

Indian Securities Risk. Investment in Indian securities involves risks in addition to those associated with investments in securities of issuers in more developed countries, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s assets. Such heightened risks include, among others, political and legal uncertainty, greater government control over the economy, currency fluctuations or blockage and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. In addition, religious and border disputes persist in India. Certain restrictions on foreign investment may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio or inhibit the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index. The Fund’s investment in securities of issuers located or operating in India as well as its ability to track the Underlying Index may be limited or prevented at times, due to the limits on foreign ownership imposed by the Reserve Bank of India.

Regulatory Risk. The Adviser is a qualified foreign institutional investor (“FII”) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), and the Subsidiary is registered as a sub-account with the SEBI in order to obtain certain benefits relating to the Fund’s ability to make and dispose of investments. There can be no assurances that the Indian regulatory authorities will continue to grant such qualifications, and the loss of such qualifications could adversely impact the ability of the Fund to make investments in India.

The Subsidiary’s investments will be made in accordance with investment restrictions prescribed under the FII regulation. If new policy announcements or regulations in India are made which require retrospective changes in the structure or operations of the Fund, these may adversely impact the performance of the Fund.

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), the Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than principally in-kind because of the nature of the Subsidiary’s investments. As such, investments in the Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

Subsidiary Investment Risk. Changes in the laws of India and/or Mauritius could prevent the Subsidiary from operating as intended and/or from continuing to qualify as a Mauritius resident for tax purposes and negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. Additionally, changes in the provisions of the Tax Treaty could result in the imposition of various taxes on the Subsidiary by India, thereby reducing the return to the Fund on its investments. The governments of India and Mauritius have entered into a protocol, amending the Tax Treaty to phase out the capital gains tax exemption on shares of Indian companies. No assurance can be given that the terms of such amendment will not be subject to interpretation and/or renegotiation.

Tax Risk. The Fund expects that the Subsidiary may be eligible to receive favorable tax treatment pursuant to the Tax Treaty. However, if India and Mauritius were to further re-negotiate the Tax Treaty, any change could result in the imposition of withholding and other taxes on the Subsidiary by India, which would reduce the Fund’s return.

Indian tax authorities recently have adopted an aggressive position towards claims of tax exemptions available under tax treaties, and often challenge claims for various reasons.

General anti-avoidance rules (“GAAR”) were implemented in India for the financial year beginning April 1, 2017. The Indian tax authorities may disregard any arrangement whose main purpose is to obtain a tax benefit. If any such arrangement were determined, tax benefits may be eliminated, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s or the Subsidiary’s business and financial conditions.

C. Taxes

The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Fund 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 consolidated financial statements. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

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

13

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 Fund files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, the Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

On May 10, 2016, India and Mauritius signed a protocol amending their Tax Treaty. With this protocol, Mauritius entities are subject to a 15% short-term capital gains tax in India on the sale of shares of Indian resident companies purchased on or after April 1, 2017. The protocol grandfathers shares acquired on or before March 31, 2017, so that gains on these shares will remain exempt from taxation irrespective of their date of disposal. In addition, during a transition period from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019, the tax rate will be limited to 50% of the domestic tax rate in India on such gains, subject to fulfillment of conditions in the Limitation of Benefits article of the Tax Treaty. Gains arising on shares acquired on or after April 1, 2017, and transferred on or after April 1, 2019 will be taxed fully in India as per the India tax laws. It is important to note that the amendments to the capital gains article in the protocol relates to the taxation of shares only and would not affect the taxation of other “securities.” The protocol could reduce the return to the Fund on its investments made on or after April 1, 2017 and the return received by Fund shareholders.

The Fund has obtained a tax residence certificate from the Mauritian authorities and believes such certification is determinative of its resident status for Tax Treaty purposes. A fund that is a tax resident in Mauritius under the Tax Treaty, but has no branch or permanent establishment in India, will not be subject to capital gains tax in India on the sale of securities but will be subject to Indian withholding tax on interest earned on Indian debt securities at a rate of 20.6% to 21.63%, depending on the nature of the underlying debt security. Interest arising in India and paid to a resident in Mauritius may be taxed in India, but the tax cannot exceed 7.5% of the gross amount of interest if the Mauritian resident is the beneficial owner of the interest income. Dividends from Indian companies are paid to the Fund free of Indian tax. With respect to Mauritian taxes, the Fund is subject to income tax in Mauritius on its net income at 15%. However, the Fund is entitled to a foreign tax credit equivalent to the higher of the actual foreign tax suffered and 80% of the Mauritius tax on its foreign source income. A company holding at least 5% of the share capital of an Indian company and receiving dividends may claim a credit for the tax paid by the Indian company on its profits out of which dividends were distributed including the Dividend Distribution Tax. Consequently, for the current period, the Fund is expected to be subject to a maximum effective rate of tax of 3% in Mauritius on its net dividend and interest income. Further, the Fund is not subject to taxes on capital gains in Mauritius.

There is no assurance that the terms of the Tax Treaty will not be subject to additional renegotiation or a different interpretation of the Tax Treaty in the future or that the Subsidiary will continue to be deemed a tax resident by Mauritius, allowing favorable tax treatment. Any change in the provisions of this Tax Treaty or in its applicability to the Subsidiary could result in the imposition of withholding and other taxes on the Subsidiary by India, which would reduce the return to the Fund on its investment.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

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

The Fund may periodically participate in litigation related to Fund investments. As such, the Fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as realized gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized gain (loss) for investments still held.

Brokerage commissions and mark ups are considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to the cost basis of securities purchased and/or a reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction costs are included in the determination of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction costs are included in the calculation of the Fund’s NAV and, accordingly, they reduce the Fund’s total returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, or the net investment income per share and the ratios of expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation arrangements between the Fund and the Adviser.

E. Country Determination

For the purposes of making investment selection decisions and presentation in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, the Adviser may determine the country in which an issuer is located and/or credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors include the

14

laws of the country under which the issuer is organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenues and the country that has the primary market for the issuer’s securities, as well as other criteria. Among the other criteria that may be evaluated for making this determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50% or more of its assets, the type of security, financial guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and the sponsor organization. Country of issuer and/or credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States of America, unless otherwise noted.

F. Expenses

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

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

G. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

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

H. Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period end date and before the date the consolidated financial statements are released to print. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

I. Foreign Currency Translations

Foreign currency is valued at the close of the NYSE based on quotations posted by banks and major currency dealers. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (net of foreign taxes withheld on disposition) and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The combined results of changes in foreign exchange rates and the fluctuation of market prices on investments (net of estimated foreign tax withholding) are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from (1) sales of foreign currencies, (2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and (3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded based on the tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which the Fund invests.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser on behalf of the Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s investments, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, the Fund accrues daily and pays monthly to the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.78% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Fund and Subsidiary, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

15

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

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for the Fund with Indus Advisors LLC (the “Licensor”). The Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. The trademark has been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Fund. The Fund is entitled to use the Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund. The Fund is not a party to the licensing agreement.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for the Fund.

Note 4. Additional Valuation Information

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

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

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

Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect 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 October 31, 2017, all securities in the Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs, except for the Short-Term Instruments—Time Deposits which were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Consolidated Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the consolidated financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the valuation levels as of the end of the reporting period. For the year ended October 31, 2017, there were transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $261,807,757, due to foreign fair value adjustments.

Note 5. Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

Tax Character of Distributions to Shareholders Paid During the Fiscal Years Ended October 31, 2017 and 2016:

	2017		2016
Ordinary Income	$	3,226,186	$	4,357,432

Tax Components of Net Assets at Fiscal Year-end:

Undistributed Ordinary Income		Net Unrealized Appreciation— Investments		Net Unrealized Appreciation— Foreign Currencies		Capital Loss Carryforward			Shares of Beneficial Interest		Total Net Assets
$	—	$	103,974,741	$	229	$	(64,968,791	)	$	253,863,951	$	292,870,130

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Fund’s net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

Capital loss carryforwards are calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in eight tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without expiration date have been

16

utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund had capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2017, which expire as follows:

	Capital Loss Carryforward*
Expiration	Short-Term		Long-Term		Total
October 31, 2018	$	2,587,911	$	—	$	2,587,911
October 31, 2019		15,322,005		—		15,322,005
Not subject to expiration		30,697,840		16,361,035		47,058,875
Total capital loss carryforward	$	48,607,756	$	16,361,035	$	64,968,791

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

Note 6. Investment Transactions

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the cost of securities purchased and proceeds from sales of securities (other than short-term securities, if any) were $78,413,692 and $251,181,518, respectively.

At October 31, 2017, the aggregate cost of investments, including any derivatives, on a tax basis includes adjustments for financial reporting purposes, as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting year-end:

Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments	$	138,012,343
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investments		(34,037,602	)
Net unrealized appreciation of investments	$	103,974,741
Cost of investments for tax purposes is $188,628,093.

Note 7. Reclassification of Permanent Differences

Primarily as a result of differing book/tax treatment of investment activity, undistributed net realized gain (loss) was increased by $3,557,723 and undistributed net investment income and shares of beneficial interest were decreased by $267,974 and $3,289,749, respectively. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”), any Trustee who is not an affiliate of the Adviser or Distributor (or any of their affiliates) and who is otherwise an “interested person” of the Trust under the 1940 Act (an “Unaffiliated Trustee”) and an Officer of the Trust. The Adviser, as a result of the Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

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

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. Unlike most ETFs, the Fund currently effects creations and redemptions principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash, rather than principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). If an in-kind transaction is permitted, there will be a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of the Fund on the transaction date. However, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted for any otherwise permitted in-kind transaction, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

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

17

possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Certain transaction fees may be charged by the Fund for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital.

Transactions in the Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Also, under the Subsidiary’s organizational documents, the directors and officers of the Subsidiary are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, respectively. Each Independent Trustee and Unaffiliated Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between such 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 Event

The Trust entered into service agreements with The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BYNM”), pursuant to which BNYM serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for the Fund beginning November 1, 2017.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the PowerShares India Portfolio and its subsidiary (constituting PowerShares India Exchange-Traded Fund Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’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 as of October 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fees and Expenses

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2017.

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 “Expense 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 the 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 Fund 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.

	Beginning Account Value May 1, 2017		Ending Account Value October 31, 2017		Annualized Expense Ratio Based on the Six-Month Period			Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period(1)
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,117.70		0.75	%	$	4.02
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)		1,000.00		1,021.41		0.75			3.83

⁽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 October 31, 2017. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 184/365. Expense ratios for the most recent six-month period may differ from expense ratios based on the annualized data in the Financial Highlights.

Tax Information

Form 1099-DIV, Form 1042-S and other year-end tax information provide shareholders with actual calendar year amounts that should be included in their tax returns. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers.

The Fund designates the following amounts or, if subsequently determined to be different, the maximum amount allowable for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2017:

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 October 31, 2017.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that the Registrant has three “audit committee financial experts” serving on its audit committee: Mr. Marc M. Kole, Mr. Gary R. Wicker, 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, as amended) and he does not accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Registrant (except in his 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 a person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on a 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.

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. 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.

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.

(e)(2)        There were no amounts that were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimus exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) In addition to the amounts shown in the tables above, PwC billed PowerShares and Affiliates additional aggregate fees of $3,068,000 for the fiscal year ended 2017 and $2,204,000 for the fiscal year ended 2016, for non-audit services not required to be pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. In total, PwC billed the Registrant, PowerShares and Affiliates aggregate non-audit fees of $4,426,500 for the fiscal year ended 2017 and $5,508,000 for the fiscal year ended 2016.

(h) With respect to the non-audit services above billed to PowerShares and Affiliates that were not required to be pre-approved by the Registrant’s Audit Committee, the Audit Committee received information from PwC about such services, including by way of comparison, that PwC provided audit services to entities within the Investment Company Complex, as defined by Rule 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, of approximately $22 million and non-audit services of approximately $18 million for the fiscal year ended 2017. The Audit Committee considered this information in evaluating PwC’s independence.

PwC informed the Audit Committee of the Board of the Trust (the “Audit Committee”) that it has identified an issue related to its independence under Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the “Loan Rule”). The Loan Rule prohibits accounting firms, such as PwC, from being deemed independent if they have certain financial relationships with their audit clients or certain affiliates of those clients. The Trust is required under various securities laws to have its financial statements audited by an independent accounting firm.

The Loan Rule specifically provides that an accounting firm would not be independent if it receives a loan from a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of an audit client’s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the Funds as well as all registered investment companies advised by the Adviser and its affiliates, including other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd. (collectively, the Invesco Fund Complex). PwC informed the Audit Committee it has relationships with lenders who hold, as record owner, more than ten percent of the shares of certain funds within the Invesco Fund Complex. These relationships call into question PwC’s independence under the Loan Rule with respect to those funds, as well as all other funds in the Invesco Fund Complex.

On June 20, 2016, the SEC Staff issued a “no-action” letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to the audit independence issue described above. In that letter, the SEC confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against a fund that relied on audit services performed by an audit firm that was not in compliance with the Loan Rule in certain specified circumstances.

In an August 18, 2016 letter, and in subsequent communications, PwC affirmed to the Audit Committee that, as of the date of the letter and the subsequent communications, respectively, PwC is an independent accountant with respect to the Trust, within the meaning of PCAOB Rule 3520. In its letter and in its subsequent communications , PwC also informed the Audit Committee that, after evaluating the facts and circumstances and the applicable independence rules, PwC has concluded that with regard to its compliance with the independence criteria set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC related to the Loan Rule, it believes that it remains objective and impartial despite matters that may ultimately be determined to be inconsistent with these criteria and therefore it can continue to serve as the Trust’s registered public accounting firm. PWC has advised the Audit Committee that this conclusion is based in part on the following considerations: (1) the lenders to PwC have no influence over any Fund, or other entity within the Invesco Fund Complex, or its investment adviser; (2) none of the officers or trustees of the Invesco Fund Complex whose shares are owned by PwC lenders are associated with those lenders; (3) PwC understands that the shares held by PwC lenders are held for the benefit of and on behalf of its policy owners/end investors; (4) investments in funds such as the Invesco Fund Complex funds are passive; (5) the PwC lenders are part of various syndicates of unrelated lenders; (6) there have been no changes to the loans in question since the origination of each respective note; (7) the debts are in good standing and no lender has the right to take action against PwC, as borrower, in connection with the financings; (8) the debt balances with each lender are immaterial to PwC and to each lender; and (9) the PwC audit engagement team has no involvement in PwC’s treasury function and PwC’s treasury function has no oversight of or ability to influence the PwC audit engagement team. In addition, PwC has communicated that the lending relationships appear to be consistent with the lending relationships described in the no-action letter and that they are not aware of other relationships that would be implicated by the Loan Rule. In addition to relying on PwC’s August 18, 2016 letter and subsequent communications regarding its independence, the Trust intends to rely upon the no-action letter.

If in the future the independence of PwC is called into question under the Loan Rule by circumstances that are not addressed in the SEC’s no-action letter, the Fund may need to take other action in order for the Fund’s filings with the SEC containing financial statements to be deemed compliant with applicable securities laws. Such additional actions could result in additional costs, impair the ability of the Funds to issue new shares or have other material adverse effects on the Funds. The SEC no-action relief was initially set to expire 18 months from issuance but has been extended by the SEC Staff without an expiration date, except that the no-action will be withdrawn upon the effectiveness of any amendments to the Loan Rule designed to address the concerns expressed in the letter.

(EACH, A “TRUST” AND COLLECTIVELY, THE “TRUSTS”)

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND

SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

I. This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) for the series of the Trusts ( together the Trusts and series thereof may be referred to herein as, a “Fund” and collectively as, the “Funds”) applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer, President, Principal Financial Officer and Treasurer (or persons performing similar functions) (“Covered Officers” each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:

● honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.

● full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Fund;

● compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

● prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

● accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. Any question about the application of the Code should be referred to the General Counsel.

II. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund. The Fund’s and its investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside the parameters of this Code, unless or until the General Counsel determines that any violation of such programs and procedures is also a violation of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and its investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for

the investment adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Fund and its investment adviser. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

Each Covered Officer must not:

● use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally (directly or indirectly) to the detriment of the Fund;

● cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; or

● use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for, or actions proposed to be taken by, the Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Each Covered Officer must, at the time of signing this Code, report to the General Counsel all affiliations or significant business relationships outside of the Funds and must update the report annually.

Conflict of interest situations should always be approved by the General Counsel and communicated to the relevant Fund or Fund’s Board. Any activity or relationship that would present such a conflict for a Covered Officer would likely also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if an immediate member of the Covered Officer’s family living in the same household engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. Examples of these include:

● service or significant business relationships as a director on the board of any public or private company;

● accepting directly or indirectly, anything of value, including gifts and gratuities in excess of $100 per year from any person or entity with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings, not including occasional meals or tickets for theatre or sporting events or other similar entertainment; provided it is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

● any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, or any affiliated person thereof; and

● a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III. Disclosure and Compliance

● Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself/herself with the disclosure and compliance requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

● each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s Trustees and auditors, or to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

● each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and their investment adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and

● it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV. Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

● upon adoption of the Code (thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Boards that he has received, read and understands the Code;

● annually thereafter affirm to the Boards that he has complied with the requirements of the Code;

● not retaliate against any other Covered Officer, other officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

● notify the General Counsel promptly if he/she knows or suspects of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any waivers¹ sought by a Covered Officer must be considered by the Board of the relevant Fund or Funds.

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

● the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;

● if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action;

● any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the relevant Fund’s Audit Committee;

● if the Independent Trustees of the relevant Fund concur that a violation has occurred, they will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer or other appropriate disciplinary actions;

● the Independent Trustees of the relevant Fund will be responsible for granting waivers of this Code, as appropriate; and

● any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

V. Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ investment adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or

⁽¹⁾  Item 2 of Form N-CSR defines “waiver” as “the approval by the registrant of a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics.”

conflict with the provisions of this Code unless any provision of this Code conflicts with any applicable federal or state law, in which case the requirements of such law will govern. The Funds’ and their investment adviser’s and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI. Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board of each Fund, including a majority of Independent Trustees.

VII. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Independent Directors/Trustees of the relevant Fund or Funds and their counsel, the relevant Fund or Funds and their counsel and the relevant investment adviser and its counsel.

VIII. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion

I have read and understand the terms of the above Code. I recognize the responsibilities and obligations incurred by me as a result of my being subject to the Code. I hereby agree to abide by the above Code.
