Investopedia explains 'PowerShares'

Most ETFs are designed to track a market index. PowerShares, however, are designed to outperform market indexes. For this reason, the company refers to its ETFs as "next generation," "intelligent" or "value added" ETFs. The company's broad categories of ETFs offer investors choices such as actively managed ETFs, ETFs focused on earnings from dividend-paying stocks, green ETFs and fixed-income ETFs.
