Performance data quoted represents past performance. As stated in the Fund's prospectus, the expense ratio of 0.75% is expressed as a unitary fee to cover expenses incurred in connection with managing the portfolio. 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 Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio's return may not match the return of the WNA Nuclear Energy 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 WNA Nuclear Energy 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 decrease in value more or less in correlation with increases or decreases in value of the WNA Nuclear Energy Index. The Fund is concentrated in a single industry which involves substantially greater risk of loss and price fluctuations than an investment diversified across multiple industries or sector segments. The Fund invests in the securities of non-U.S. issuers and is
concentrated in a single industry which involves substantially greater risk of loss and price fluctuations than an investment in U.S. securities or diversified
across multiple industries or sector segments, respectively. 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 Global Nuclear Energy 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 WNA Nuclear Energy Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the WNA Nuclear Energy Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund's securities holdings to reflect changes in composition of the WNA Nuclear Energy 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 WNA Nuclear Energy Index, as would be the case if it purchased all the stocks in the WNA Nuclear Energy Index, with the same weightings as the WNA Nuclear Energy Index.
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 Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses. You may purchase or sell PowerShares Global Nuclear Energy 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 Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio shares directly from the Trust in large block creation/redemption units. The PowerShares Global Nuclear Energy Portfolio are 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.
The MSCI EAFE® Index and the S&P 500® Index are unmanaged indexes considered representative of
