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 Global Wind Energy Portfolio's return may not match the return of the 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 NASDAQ OMX Clean Edge® Global Wind 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 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 Global Wind Energy Portfolio will fluctuate so that shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities, including, but not limited to: These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability, among others.
The Fund is also concentrated in the wind energy industry. This involves risks, including, but not limited to: the wind energy industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence of existing technology, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants and general economic conditions, among others. The wind energy industry can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of alternative energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects and tax and other government regulations. Wind energy industry companies could be adversely affected by commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, increased competition, depletion of resources, technological developments and labor relations.
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.
