†The credit quality of the Fund's holdings represents the weighted average quality rating of the securities in the portfolio as assigned by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations based on assessment of the credit worthiness of the underlying securities. The ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest).
Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II portfolios are not actively
managed and are subject to risk similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and margin maintenance. The PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio's return may not match the return of the Deutsche Bank Emerging Market U.S. Dollar Balanced Liquid
Index, as outlined in the prospectus. For actual Fund performance, please contact your financial advisor. Index performance does not reflect charges and expenses associated with the Fund or brokerage commissions associated with buying and selling Fund shares.
The value of the stocks in the Deutsche Bank Emerging Market U.S. Dollar Balanced Liquid
Index is likely to be more volatile than stocks of other issues. An investor in the Fund should anticipate that the value of their shares will increase or decease in value more or less in correlation with increases and decreases in the value of the Index. There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including the possible loss of money. The investment return and principal value of an investment in PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The Fund's return may not match the return of the Deutsche Bank Emerging Market U.S. Dollar Balanced Liquid
Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Deutsche Bank Emerging Market U.S. Dollar Balanced Liquid
Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund's securities holdings to reflect changes in composition of the Index.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach or futures or other derivative positions, its return may not correlate as well with the return on the Deutsche Bank Emerging Market U.S. Dollar Balanced Liquid
Index, as would be the case if it purchased all the stocks in the Index, with the same weightings as the Index.
Investments in sovereign debt securities involve special risks. The governmental authority that controls the
repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due in
accordance with the terms of such securities due to: the extent of its foreign reserves; the availability of
sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due; the relative size of the debt service burden to
the economy as a whole; or the government debtor’s policy towards the International Monetary Fund
and the political constraints to which a government debtor may be subject. If an issuer of sovereign debt
defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the
issuer and/or guarantor. In certain cases, remedies must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party
itself, and the Fund's ability to obtain recourse may be limited. Government obligors in emerging market
countries are among the world's largest debtors to commercial banks, other governments, international
financial organizations and other financial institutions. Historically, certain issuers of the government debt
securities in which the Fund may invest have experienced substantial difficulties in meeting their external
debt obligations, resulting in defaults on certain obligations and the restructuring of certain indebtedness.
Such restructuring arrangements have included obtaining additional credit to finance outstanding obligation
and the reduction and rescheduling of payments of interest and principal through the negotiation of
new or amended credit agreements. Please see the prospectus for more complete information regarding
the risks of investing in emerging markets and sovereign debt.
An investment in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities, including, but not limited to:
greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments,
decreased market liquidity, political instability, negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates or foreign governmental regulation.
The Index may include small and medium-sized companies. Investing in securities of these companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more established companies. These companies' stocks may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These stocks may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market. Often smaller and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving, and while this may offer better growth potential than larger, more established companies, it may also make them more sensitive to changing market conditions.
Please review a copy of the prospectus carefully prior to investing. The prospectus provides a detailed explanation of the costs of investing, including the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. You may purchase or sell PowerShares Emerging
Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio shares throughout the day through any brokerage account, which will result in typical brokerage commissions. However, only Authorized Participants may create or redeem PowerShares Emerging
Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio shares directly from the Trust in large block creation/redemption units. The PowerShares Emerging
Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio is obligated to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders, and trading Fund shares may generate tax consequences.
