5 Why invest in low volatility? Lower risk doesn t always mean lower returns The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) states that in order to obtain a higher return, you must take on more risk. However, based on the historical U.S. equity market data shown below, the opposite seems true, as stocks with lower volatility have seen higher returns. This low-volatility anomaly presents an opportunity for investors to capture above-market returns with below-market risk. Volatility Returns 35% 30% 25% 20% 5.19% 4.27% 2.56% 0.28% -3.31% 6% 4% 2% 0% 15% -2% 10% -4% 5% -6% 0% -8% Least volatile Most volatile Source: FactSet, as at March 31, Data is for 1,000 largest U.S. stocks by marketcap from December 1988 to March Equal weighted and rebalanced monthly. Volatility data is divided by quintile. Excess return refers to annualized CAPM alpha, a measure of performance relative to the market. Positive alpha is the extra return awarded to the investor for taking additional risk rather than by accepting the market return. Volatility refers to 36-month price return standard deviation. 5

You cannot invest directly in an index. Performance for an index does not reflect fees and expenses that might be applicable to a fund.

11 Index methodology PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility (CAD Hedged) Index ETF and S&P 500 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 U.S.-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. 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. This index was created April 10, 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 January 22,
12 Index methodology PowerShares FTSE RAFI U.S. Fundamental (CAD Hedged) Index ETF and FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index (Canadian Hedged) PowerShares FTSE RAFI U.S. 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 Research Affiliates ( 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 overexpose an investor to individual companies, sectors or countries. For more information, please go to The index 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 November 28,
13 Hypothetical data assumptions and explanations Limitations on use of hypothetical data: Performance data for the period before the creation date for the relevant index has been reconstructed and is calculated on a basis consistent with each index s current basis of calculation. You cannot invest directly in an index. Performance for an index does not reflect 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. Index data shown before these creation dates have been reconstructed and are calculated on a basis consistent with their current basis of calculation. The reconstructed performance is hypothetical and for illustrative purposes only. The hypothetical performance data for the index should not be taken as indicating that if the index had, in fact, existed during the shown time periods before its creation that the index would have achieved the hypothetical results shown, as actual results might have differed. CAD hedged: 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, PowerShares S&P 500 High Beta Index ETF, PowerShares QQQ (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 respective Underlying Index. While each ETF will seek to hedge all or substantially all of the direct U.S.-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 seeks to replicate. For this reason, returns of an ETF that tracks an unhedged index and returns of an ETF that tracks a CAD-hedged version of that index will differ. 13
14 Important information Commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Unless otherwise indicated, rates of return for periods greater than one year are historical annual compound total returns including changes in unit value and reinvestment of all distributions, and do not take into account any brokerage commissions or income taxes payable by any unitholder that would have reduced returns. ETFs 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 Ltd. at There are risks involved with investing in ETFs. Please read the prospectus for a complete description of risks relevant to the ETF. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply to purchases and sales of ETF units. Most PowerShares ETFs seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the applicable Index, and are not actively managed. This means that the Sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets and the ETF will 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. In contrast, if a PowerShares ETF is actively managed, then the Sub-advisor has discretion to adjust that PowerShares ETF s holdings in accordance with the ETF s investment objectives and strategies.
