PowerShares Autonomic Balanced NFA Global Asset Portfolio (the Fund) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of an index called the New Frontier Global Dynamic Balanced Index (the Underlying Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in the Underlying Index. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the Adviser) is the investment adviser for the Fund. The funds included in the Underlying Index are exchange-traded funds (ETFs) advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (PowerShares ETFs), or if the asset exposure sought is not available through a PowerShares ETF, ETFs advised by unaffiliated entities (collectively, the Underlying ETFs). The Fund and any PowerShares ETFs, in which the Fund invests, are part of the same group of investment companies.
