Invesco PowerShares announced Thursday, September 9, that it had signed an agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (KBW) to license four KBW indexes covering the financial services, REIT, and property & casualty insurance market sectors. Invesco PowerShares said it expected to list the first of the new ETFs based on these indexes before the end of 2010.

The indexes and anticipated PowerShares ETF portfolio names are:

Invesco PowerShares sponsors more than 120 domestic and international ETFs, and as of June 30, the company said it had franchise assets of more than $44 billion.

Wealth Manager’s Kate McBride recently wrote about an Invesco corporate bond ETF that tracks the Research Affiliates’ (RAFI) High Yield Bond Index.
