Invesco PowerShares, a leading provider of exchange-traded funds
(ETFs) was recognized for launching the "Most Innovative ETF
Product" in 2008 and for its ongoing "Contribution to the ETF
Sector" at two ETF industry conferences held recently in New York
City.
Invesco PowerShares received the 2008 award for "Most Innovative
ETF Product" for the Americas at the 5th Annual Global ETF Awards�.
Invesco PowerShares introduced the industry's first actively
managed equity ETFs in April 2008, listing the PowerShares Active
Mega Cap Fund (PMA), PowerShares Active AlphaQ Fund (PQY), and
PowerShares Active Multi-Cap Fund (PQZ). As part of the same
listing, Invesco PowerShares also launched the PowerShares Active
Low Duration Fund (PLK), and in November 2008, the company listed
the first actively managed U.S. Real Estate ETF -- PowerShares
Active U.S. Real Estate Fund (PSR).
Actively managed ETFs combine the goals associated with active
management (reduced volatility, managed risk and benchmark
outperformance) with the traditional benefits of ETFs, such as tax
efficiency and transparency.
"It is truly an honor to be recognized by our peers as a leading
innovator in the ETF Industry," said Bruce Bond, president and CEO
of Invesco PowerShares. "We believe our diverse suite of ETF
portfolios is at the forefront of the industry delivering value and
market-leading ideas to investors."
Separately, Edward McRedmond, senior vice president of portfolio
strategies at Invesco PowerShares, was presented with the 2008
award for his "Contribution to the ETF Sector" at the 8th Annual
Closed-End Fund & ETF Awards Capital Link Forum. This marks the
second consecutive year Mr. McRedmond has received the award and
the fifth consecutive year for Invesco PowerShares.
"It's been my privilege to work and interact with so many
wonderful and talented people in the ETF industry over the years,"
said McRedmond. "On behalf of Invesco PowerShares, I am deeply
honored to be receiving the award for Contribution to the ETF
Sector."
The Global ETF Awards and Workshop is hosted by
exchangetradedfunds.com. Its purpose is to recognize those who have
contributed to the development of the ETF industry worldwide and to
allow ETF participants from the international community to discuss
their respective markets. The Global ETF Awards winners were
selected from voting forms sent to ETF industry entities worldwide
and tabulation of statistical ranking information. The Global ETF
Awards took place on Thursday, April 30, 2009, in New York
City.
The Annual Closed End Fund & ETF Awards, an initiative of
Capital Link, aims to identify and recognize annually those fund
sponsors and executives who consistently apply high standards of
financial disclosure, investor and shareholder relations and
innovation. The CEF & ETF Awards are based on nominations by a
committee of analysts and industry specialists who actively follow
CEFs and ETFs. The Awards were presented on Wednesday, April 29,
2009, in New York City.
