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 at
www.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 ETF
units. ETFs are not diversified investments.
Each PowerShares ETF seeks to replicate, before fees and
expenses, the performance of the applicable Index 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.
