Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC [see profile], today said that it will waive its unitary fee for the four new ETFs based on Keefe, Bruyette & Woods indexes that are expected to begin trading November 1 on the NYSE Arca.

The new offerings include: PowerShares KBW Bank Portfolio; PowerShares KBW Capital Markets Portfolio; PowerShares KBW Insurance Portfolio and PowerShares KBW Regional Banking Portfolio.

“In order to ease the transition for investors that would like to continue to retain their portfolio’s exposure to the KBW financial Indexes, we are waving the unitary fee on these four ETFs through February 1, 2012," stated Ben Fulton, Invesco PowerShares managing director of global ETFs. "We are able to take this unprecedented step with the full support from our key partners who are also waiving their fees.”
