The PowerShares Preferred Portfolio (Fund) is based on
The BofA Merrill
Lynch Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. The Index is designed to replicate the total return of a diversified group of investment-grade preferred securities. (Securities must be investment-grade, based on an average of three leading ratings agencies: Moody's, S&P and Fitch). The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis. |

| aFund and underlying Index returns are based on the inception date of the Fund. Returns for the benchmark indexes are based on the closest month end to the Fund's inception date. |
Market returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times. Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance data quoted. After-tax returns reflect the highest federal income tax rate but exclude state and local taxes. Fund performance reflects fee waivers, absent which, performance data quoted would have been lower. After Tax Held and After Tax Sold are based on NAV.

As of 9/1/2010
†Credit ratings are assigned by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations based on assessment of the credit worthiness of the underlying bond issuers. The ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest) and are subject to change.
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 Preferred Portfolio's return may not match the return of The BofA Merrill Lynch Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities 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 BofA Merrill
Lynch Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities 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 Preferred 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 The BofA Merrill
Lynch Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to The BofA Merrill Lynch Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities 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's use of a representative sampling approach will result in its holding a smaller number of bonds than are in the underlying Index, and may be subject to greater volatility.
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.
The Fund, using an "indexing" investment approach, attempts to replicate,
before fees and expenses, the performance of the Underlying Index. The Adviser
seeks correlation over time of 0.95% or better between the Fund's performance
and the performance of the Underlying Index. The Adviser will use a "sampling"
methodology in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective. Sampling
involves the use of quantitative analysis to select securities from the Underlying
Index to obtain a representative sample of municipal securities that have in the
aggregate investment characteristics similar to the Underlying Index based on
such factors as duration, maturity, credit quality, yield and coupon. The Adviser
generally expects the Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the
Underlying Index but reserves the right to hold as many securities as it believes
necessary to achieve the Fund's investment objective.
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 Preferred 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 Preferred Portfolio shares directly from the Trust in large block creation/redemption units. The PowerShares Preferred Portfolio is obligated to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders, and trading Fund shares may generate tax consequences.
Shares are not individually redeemable and owners of the Shares may acquire those Shares from the
Fund and tender those Shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Units only, typically consisting of
50,000 Shares.
