1 BKL PowerShares Senior Loan (CAD Hedged) Index ETF The PowerShares Senior Loan (CAD Hedged) Index ETF (BKL) seeks to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P/LSTA (Loan Syndications and Trading Association) U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index (CAD Hedged). The index gives investors exposure to the largest 100 loan facilities drawn from a larger benchmark – the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index. Why invest in this ETF?  Potential for enhanced yield  Reduced interest-rate sensitivity compared to investments with fixed-coupon payments  Priority of repayment and protection  Low correlation to traditional bonds 1 Source: S&P Dow Jones Indices. 1 This is the weighted average yield of the index as at March 31, 2013 and is not indicative of the yield an investor could expect to earn on an ETF that seeks to replicate the performance of the index.

4 Important information Commissions, management fees and expenses may all be associated with investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 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 www.powershares.ca. 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.
