2. Hypothetical Data Assumptions & Explanations
PowerShares  S&P 500 Low Volatility (CAD Hedged) Index ETF and S&P® Low Volatility Index (CAD Hedged)
PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility (CAD Hedged) Index ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P 500® Low Volatility Index (CAD Hedged), or any successor thereto.
Index Methodology:  The S&P 500 Low Volatility Index (CAD Hedged) is designed to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index (the “Underlying Index”), with all or substantially all of the direct US. dollar exposure of the Underlying Index hedged back to the Canadian dollar.  The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of the 100 least volatile stocks in the S&P 500® Index.  Volatility is defined as the standard deviation of the security’s daily price returns over the prior 252 trading days.  Constituents are weighted relative to the inverse of their corresponding volatility, with the least volatile stocks receiving the highest weights.  The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly after the close of trading on the third Friday of February, May, August and November of each year.  The rebalancing reference dates are after the close of trading of the last business day of January, April, July and October, respectively.  Additions are made to the Underlying Index only during the quarterly rebalancing.  Constituents removed from the S&P 500 Index are removed from the Underlying Index simultaneously. 
The S&P 500 Low Volatility Index (CAD Hedged) hedges its beginning-of-period balances of its U.S. dollar exposure back to the Canadian dollar by using rolling one-month forward contracts.  Daily hedge returns are computed by interpolating between the spot price and the forward price.
This index was created April 20, 2011. 
PowerShares S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index ETF and S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index
PowerShares S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index, or any successor thereto.
Index Methodology: The S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index is designed to measure the performance of the 50 least volatile stocks in the S&P/TSX Composite Index. Volatility is defined as the standard deviation of the security’s daily price returns over the prior 252 trading days. Constituents are weighted relative to the inverse of their corresponding volatility, with the least volatile stocks receiving the highest weightings. The Index is rebalanced quarterly after the close of trading on the third Friday of March, June, September and December of each year. The rebalancing reference dates are after the close of trading of the last business day of February, May, August and November, respectively. Additions are made to the Index only during the quarterly rebalancing. Constituents removed from the S&P/TSX Composite Index are removed from the S&P/TSX Composite Low Volatility Index simultaneously.

3. Hypothetical Data Assumptions & Explanations
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US Fundamental (CAD Hedged) Index ETF and FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index (Canadian Hedged)
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US Fundamental (CAD Hedged) Index ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE RAFI® US 1000 Index (Canadian Hedged), or any successor thereto.
Index Methodology: The FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index (Canadian Hedged) is designed to replicate the returns of the FTSE RAFI® US 1000 Index (the “Underlying Index”), with all or substantially all of the direct U.S. dollar exposure of the Underlying Index hedged back to the Canadian dollar. The Underlying Index is part of the FTSE RAFI Index Series, launched by FTSE in association with RA. As part of the FTSE’s range of non-market capitalization weighted indices, the FTSE RAFI Index Series weights index constituents based on the following four fundamental measures of company size: dividends, cash flow, sales and book value. The Underlying Index is comprised of the 1,000 U.S. companies with the largest fundamental value that are included in the FTSE US All Cap Index.
Stocks in the Underlying Index are free-float weighted to ensure that only the investable opportunity set is included within the index. The Underlying Index is transparent, independently governed and provides investors with freely available index rules, overseen by an independent committee of leading market professionals. The methodology for the Underlying Index includes using the audited dollar values of cash flow, book value, total sales and gross dividends to derive each constituent index weight. Prices, which can be prone to speculation, are not a component of the weights. As the fundamental weightings are regularly reviewed each March, the constituent weights are less affected by market bubbles that can over-expose an investor to individual companies, sectors or countries.

4. Hypothetical Data Assumptions & Explanations
PowerShares FTSE RAFI Canadian Fundamental Index ETF and FTSE RAFI Canada Index
PowerShares FTSE RAFI Canadian Fundamental Index ETF seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of the FTSE RAFI® Canada Index, or any successor thereto.
Index Methodology:  The FTSE RAFI Canada Index is part of the FTSE RAFI Index Series, launched by FTSE in association with RA. As part of the FTSE’s range of non-market capitalization weighted indices, the FTSE RAFI Index Series weights index constituents based on the following four fundamental measures of company size: dividends, cash flow, sales and book value. The FTSE RAFI Canada Index is comprised of the Canadian stocks included in the FTSE RAFI® Developed ex U.S Index, which is comprised of the 1000 non U.S.-listed companies with the
largest fundamental value selected from the constituents of the FTSE Developed All Cap ex U.S. Index.
Stocks in the FTSE RAFI Canada Index are free-float weighted to ensure that only the investable opportunity set is included within the Index.

Limitations on Use of Hypothetical Data:  Performance data for the period before the creation date for the relevant index has been reconstructed, and indicates what the performance for each index would have been during the period had the index existed, calculated on a basis consistent with each index’s current basis of calculation.  An investor cannot invest directly in an index.  Performance for an index is gross of any fees and expenses that might be applicable to a fund. The hypothetical performance data for these Indices should not be taken as indicating that if the Index had, in fact, existed during the shown time periods, that this index would have achieved the hypothetical results shown. Actual results might have differed from the shown results.
CAD hedged:  The PowerShares S & P 500 Low Volatility (CAD Hedged) Index ETF, PowerShares Senior Loan (CAD Hedged) Index ETF, PowerShares FTSE RAFI US Fundamental (CAD Hedged) Index ETF, and PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond (CAD Hedged) Index ETF are each based on a CAD hedged version of the Underlying Index.  While each ETF will seek to hedge all or substantially all of the direct US dollar exposure back to the Canadian dollar, a perfect hedge may not be possible and it may not be able to achieve the same level of hedging as the hedged index it is seeks to replicate. For this reason, the returns of the underlying index will differ from the returns of an ETF that tracks a CAD hedged version of that index.

Financial Repression is a form of debt reduction employed by governments in order to deal with their high levels of accumulated debt. This could include governments capping interest rates, ownership of banks, creation of a captive market for government debt or restrictions on the transfer of assets.

Why invest?
Historically, investors in the lowest credit quality bonds have not been rewarded for taking on additional risk. The increased coupon is not adequate to compensate investors for the increased volatility and reduction in price return.

40. Important information
Commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with investments in exchange-traded funds. Exchange-traded funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated. Please read the prospectus before investing. Copies are available from Invesco Canada at powershares.ca.
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including the risk of error in replicating the underlying Index. Please read the prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to the ETF. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply to purchases and sales of the ETF.
Each PowerShares ETF seeks to replicate the performance of the applicable Index, before fees and expenses, and is not actively managed. This means that the Sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets but rather continue to provide exposure to each of the securities in the Index regardless of whether the financial condition of one or more issuers of securities in the Index deteriorates.
