Invesco PowerShares Preps to Launch Nine ETFs

Reported by Armie Margaret Lee

Invesco PowerShares, led by Ben Fulton, will hold an event at the Nasdaq next Monday to promote the upcoming launch of nine new ETFs.

The Wheaton, Illinois-based firm plans to launch the ETFs two days later, on April 7.

The ETFs each carry an expense ratio of 29 basis points and are based on the S&P SmallCap 600 Capped Sector Indices.

Fulton, managing director of Invesco PowerShares' global ETF business will speak at the event, which will be attended by industry analysts, reporters and advisors.

When the nine ETFs hit the market, Invesco PowerShares will have a total of 127 ETFs in its product menu.

"In a post-recession environment, historically, small caps tend to outperform," said Brooks.

"Many advisors are moving to more discretionary platforms, and we believe these new ETFs would be a great tool for them to make tactical tilts," he added.

He also pointed out of the 50 largest fund firms, 38 have ETFs as part of their holdings.
