The PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio (Fund) is based on the Ryan/Mergent 1-30 Year Treasury Laddered Index (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. The Index measures the potential returns of the U.S. Treasury yield curve based on approximately 30 equally weighted U.S. Treasury issues with fixed coupons, scheduled to mature in a proportional, annual laddered structure. The Portfolio does not participate in Treasury Bills, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), or zero-coupon securities (STRIPS). |

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 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio's return may not match the return of the Ryan/Mergent 1-30 Year Treasury Laddered 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 Ryan/Mergent 1-30 Year Treasury Laddered 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 1-30 Laddered Treasury 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 Ryan/Mergent 1-30 Year Treasury Laddered Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Ryan/Mergent 1-30 Year Treasury Laddered 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 Ryan/Mergent 1-30 Year Treasury Laddered Index, as would be the case if it purchased all the stocks in the Index, with the same weightings as the Index.
Generally, the prices of income securities tend to fall as interest rates rise. The Shares are subject to market
fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in
interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. The Fund is also subject to risks associated with an
investment in Treasury bond securities. Please see the prospectus for more complete information regarding
an investment in the Funds.The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
There is no guarantee that the Fund’s income will be exempt from federal or state income taxes.
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.
