Invesco Launches Four Simple, Convenient Single-Ticket Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolios

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco (NYSE: IVZ), a leading global provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), announced today the launch of four PowerShares Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolios with targeted, pre-defined levels of risk exposure to match clients' risk profiles.

The new portfolios are:

These single ticket portfolios provide convenience and diversification benefits through asset allocation based on a suite of models designed by the Invesco Global Solutions Development and Implementation team, which is comprised of eight investment professionals located around the globe with asset allocation specialization.

The Invesco Global Solutions team is dedicated to designing goal-oriented, multi-asset strategies seeking improved risk-adjusted returns. The team focuses on evaluating capabilities across Invesco investment centers and vehicles, combining them in a broad range of global, multi-asset products, to meet specific client goals.

"Given the increasingly complex markets and varying risk profiles of our clients, we're excited to bring Invesco's broad range of capabilities together in simplified, single ticket solutions," said Jason Bloom, Global Market Strategist at PowerShares by Invesco.

Each of the actively managed portfolios includes exposure to smart beta ETFs, a rules-based investment methodology that uses factor selection and/or alternative weighting approach in an effort to outperform a benchmark, reduce portfolio risk, or both.

Combining smart beta's rules-based exposure with the features of active management, provides investors with portfolio strategies that go beyond the limitations of traditional passive investing and benchmark-centric active management.

Important Risk Information
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Actively managed ETFs do not necessarily seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Actively managed ETFs are subject to risks similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and margin maintenance. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. The Fund's return may not match the return of the Index. The Fund is subject to certain other risks. Please see the current prospectus for more information regarding the risk associated with an investment in the Fund.

The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

The Funds are subject to the risks of the underlying funds. Market fluctuations may change the target weightings in the underlying funds and certain factors may cause the Funds to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous time.

The Funds typically will hold a small number of positions (approximately 10-20 underlying ETFs). To the extent that a significant portion of the Funds' total assets is invested in a limited number of holdings, the appreciation or depreciation of any one underlying ETF may have a greater impact on the Funds' NAV than it would if the Funds held a greater number of constituents.

The Funds are non-diversified and may experience greater volatility than a more diversified investment. 

Debt securities are affected by changing interest rates and changes in their effective maturities and credit quality.

The risks of investing in securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, and foreign taxation issues.

Factor investing is an investment strategy in which securities are chosen based on certain characteristics and attributes.

Beta is a measure of risk representing how a security is expected to respond to general market movements. Smart Beta represents an alternative and selection index based methodology that seeks to outperform a benchmark or reduce portfolio risk, or both in active or passive vehicles. Smart beta funds may underperform cap-weighted benchmarks and increase portfolio risk.

Shares are not individually redeemable and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the funds and tender those shares for redemption to the funds in creation unit aggregations only, typically consisting of 10,000, 50,000, 75,000, 100,000 or 200,000 shares.
