PowerShares DWA SmallCap Technical Leaders Portfolio

DWAS Description

The PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio (the Fund) seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the Dorsey Wright SmallCap Technical Leaders™ Index (the Underlying Index).

The Index Provider selects approximately 200 companies for inclusion in the Underlying Index from a small-cap universe of approximately 2,000 of the smallest U.S. companies selected from a broader set of 3,000 companies. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly. Effective on or about Oct. 4, 2013, the name of the Fund changed from PowerShares DWA SmallCap Technical Leaders to PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio.
