Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign

 

 

  78  

 


 

 

security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a Fund holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities a Fund holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Global Agriculture Portfolio, Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, Global Water Portfolio and International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Sampling Risk. FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Portfolio’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Fund’s Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer of securities held

 

 

  79  

 


 

 

by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of its securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability, local taxation, potential currency transfer restrictions or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. As the Funds may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities and may negatively impact the Funds’ returns.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund (except for Global Agriculture Portfolio and Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio) declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Global Agriculture Portfolio and Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio each declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders annually and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of London world markets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations.

H. Securities Lending

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio, Emerging Markets Infrastructure Portfolio, FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Small-Mid Portfolio, FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Portfolio, Global Agriculture Portfolio, Global Clean Energy Portfolio, Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio and Global Water Portfolio participated in securities lending. Each Fund loaned portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any. DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio and FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Portfolio no longer participate in securities lending.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

Note 4. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of April 30, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or

liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 5. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2013, which expire as follows:

Note 7. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”) and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 8. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares (100,000 Shares for DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio, FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio and FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Small-Mid Portfolio and 75,000 Shares for Global Clean Energy). Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with each Fund’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio charges certain transaction fees for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital, which are shown in the Statements of Charges in Net Assets as Transaction fees.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 9. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2014.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The Trustees previously approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on December 17, 2013.

Also at the April 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Limited; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and amounts paid by other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (other than PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Momentum Portfolio, which Funds had not commenced operations as of April 17, 2014), their underlying indexes and their primary benchmarks for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2013, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Ibbotson Associates, a consultant to the Independent Trustees, with respect to general expected tracking error ranges and various explanations for any tracking error. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the correlation for each Fund, other than the five-year period for PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, the since-inception period for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, the one- and three-year periods for PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and the one-, three- and five-year periods for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio’s and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio’s level of correlation to its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s expectations for such Fund’s correlation going forward. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement and concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, interest expenses associated with its line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not serve as the investment adviser to any clients, other than other ETFs also overseen by the Trustees, with comparable investment strategies as the Funds, but that the Adviser provides sub-advisory services to clients with comparable investment strategies as certain of the Funds. The Trustees further noted the Adviser’s explanation with respect to the sub-advisory fees it receives for such services in comparison to the advisory fees charged to the Funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee was:

 

    equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Quality Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, which were higher than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

The Trustees also considered that, during the period, certain Funds incurred other expenses excluded from those Funds’ unitary advisory fees, such that those Funds’ net expense ratios were in excess of the Funds’ unitary advisory fees. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that such expenses were not expected to be incurred at that level going forward. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until February 28, 2016, for PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio. The Trustees determined that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indexes, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio at a meeting held on April 17, 2014. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio’s assets, the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisers to PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Trustees also considered information provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. on the revenues it

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

receives under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they derived from their relationships with the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

* Commenced operations on April 28, 2014.

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units of 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, CEF Income Composite Portfolio, Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, Preferred Portfolio and Variable Rate Preferred Portfolio are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Creation Units of Build America Bond Portfolio, Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio generally are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

Securities, including restricted securities in a fund that is held as an investment (the “Underlying Fund”) of a Fund are valued in accordance with the Underlying Fund’s valuation policy. The policies of Underlying Funds affiliated with the Funds as a result of having the same investment adviser are set forth below.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple

 

 

  93  

 


 

 

factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. Fixed-income securities with longer maturities typically are more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than securities with shorter maturities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. There is a possibility that the credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security. Securities issued by the U.S. Government are subject to limited credit risk; however, securities issued by U.S. Government agencies are not necessarily backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund (except for Build America Bond Portfolio, CEF Income Composite Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio) is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. Because the Build America Bond Portfolio, Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio issue and redeem Creation Units principally for cash, those funds will incur higher costs in buying and selling securities than if it they issued and redeemed Creation Units principally in-kind. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Sampling Risk. With respect to each of the Build America Bond Portfolio, Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio, Preferred Portfolio, Variable Rate Preferred Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, each Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its respective Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting to an issuer of securities that a Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if a Fund held all of the securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in a Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), the Build America Bond Portfolio, Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio currently effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than primarily in-kind because of the nature of the Funds’ investments. As such, investments in such Funds’ Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability, local taxation, potential currency transfer restrictions or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. As the Funds may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities and may negatively impact the Funds’ returns.

Fund of Funds Risk. Because CEF Income Composite Portfolio is a fund of funds, its investment performance largely depends on the investment performance of the underlying funds in which it invests. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds that comprise its Underlying Index. The Fund will pay indirectly a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests, including their investment advisory and administration fees, while continuing to pay its own unitary management fee. As a result, shareholders will absorb duplicate levels of fees with respect to investments in the Underlying Funds. In addition, at times certain segments of the market represented by constituent underlying funds in its Underlying Index may be out of favor and underperform other segments.

Global Bonds Risk. Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio and International Corporate Bond Portfolio invest in global bonds. Global bonds are subject to the same risks as other debt issues, notably credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Generally, investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. Foreign issuers often are subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping than are U.S. securities and, therefore, not all material information regarding these issuers will be available. Securities exchanges or foreign governments may adopt rules or regulations that may negatively impact a Fund’s ability to invest in foreign securities or may prevent the Fund from repatriating its investments. In addition, a Fund may not receive shareholder communications or be permitted to vote the securities that it holds, as the issuers may be under no legal obligation to distribute them.

High Yield Securities Risk. For Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio and Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, high yield securities typically involve greater risk and are less liquid than higher grade issues. Changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers and changes in interest rates may adversely impact the ability of issuers of high yield securities to make timely payments of interest and principal.

Municipal Securities Risk. Build America Bond Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio invest in municipal securities. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. In addition, there is a risk that, as a result of the recent economic crisis, the ability of any issuer to pay, when due, the principal or interest on its municipal bonds may be materially affected.

Political changes and uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders can significantly affect municipal securities. Because many securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer can affect the overall municipal market.

Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value.

The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. There also may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. This means that it may be harder to buy and sell municipal securities, especially on short notice, and municipal securities may be more difficult for the Funds to value accurately than securities of public corporations. Since these Funds invest a significant portion of their portfolios in municipal securities, the Funds’ portfolios may have greater exposure to liquidity risk than funds that invest in non-municipal securities.

Sovereign Debt Risk. For Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio and Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, risks of sovereign debt include the relative size of the debt burden to the economy as a whole and the government debtor’s policy towards the International Monetary Fund and the political constraints to which a government debtor may be subject. The governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such securities due to the extent of its foreign reserves. If an issuer of sovereign debt defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, the Fund may have limited legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor. In certain cases, remedies must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party itself, and the Fund’s ability to obtain recourse may be limited.

Risks of Investing in Closed-End Funds. For CEF Income Composite Portfolio, the shares of closed-end funds may trade at a discount or premium to, or at, their NAV. To the extent that the Fund invests a portion of its assets in closed-end funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the closed-end fund’s portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund, but also, indirectly, the expenses of the closed-end fund. The securities of closed-end funds in which the Fund may invest may be leveraged. As a result, the Fund may be exposed indirectly to leverage through an investment in such securities. An investment in securities of closed-end funds that use leverage may expose the Fund to higher volatility in the market value of such securities and the possibility that the Fund’s long-term returns on such securities (and, indirectly, the long-term returns of the Shares) will be diminished.

Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock is subject to issuer-specific and overall market risks that are generally applicable to equity securities as a whole; however, there are special risks associated with investing in preferred stock. Preferred stock may be less liquid than many other types of securities, such as common stock, and generally provides no voting rights with respect to the issuer. Preferred stock also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, meaning that an issuer’s preferred stock generally pays dividends only after the issuer makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. This subjects preferred stock to a greater risk of non-payment than more senior securities. Because of the subordinated position of preferred stock in an issuer’s capital structure, the ability to defer dividend or interest payments for extended periods of time without triggering an event of default for the issuer, and certain other features, its quality and value are heavily dependent on the profitability and cash flows of the issuer rather than on any legal claims to specific assets. Also, in certain circumstances, an issuer of a preferred stock may call or redeem it prior to a specified date or may convert it to common stock, all of which may negatively impact its return.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the

 

 

  96  

 


 

 

ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of London world markets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations.

H. Securities Lending

Preferred Portfolio may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of the Fund to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

 

  99  

 


 

 

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the CEF Income Composite Portfolio, Preferred Portfolio and the Funds listed below, as of April 30, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 2 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). All of the securities in CEF Income Composite Portfolio and Preferred Portfolio were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2013, which expire as follows:

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”) and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares (100,000 Shares for Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio and Variable Rate Preferred Portfolio). Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, CEF Income Composite Portfolio, Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, Preferred Portfolio and Variable Rate Preferred Portfolio are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. For Build America Bond Portfolio, Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, International Corporate Bond Portfolio and VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, such transactions are in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with each Fund’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio and International Corporate Bond Portfolio charge certain transaction fees for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital, which are shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Transaction fees.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month (or shorter) period ended April 30, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolio. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolio invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The Trustees previously approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on December 17, 2013.

Also at the April 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Limited; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and amounts paid by other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (other than PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Momentum Portfolio, which Funds had not commenced operations as of April 17, 2014), their underlying indexes and their primary benchmarks for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2013, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Ibbotson Associates, a consultant to the Independent Trustees, with respect to general expected tracking error ranges and various explanations for any tracking error. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the correlation for each Fund, other than the five-year period for PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, the since-inception period for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, the one- and three-year periods for PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and the one-, three- and five-year periods for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio’s and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio’s level of correlation to its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s expectations for such Fund’s correlation going forward. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement and concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, interest expenses associated with its line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not serve as the investment adviser to any clients, other than other ETFs also overseen by the Trustees, with comparable investment strategies as the Funds, but that the Adviser provides sub-advisory services to clients with comparable investment strategies as certain of the Funds. The Trustees further noted the Adviser’s explanation with respect to the sub-advisory fees it receives for such services in comparison to the advisory fees charged to the Funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee was:

 

    equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Quality Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, which were higher than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

 

   

equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, which was higher than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Infrastructure Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Bank Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Capital Markets Portfolio, PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Regional Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P

SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

 

    lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees also considered that, during the period, certain Funds incurred other expenses excluded from those Funds’ unitary advisory fees, such that those Funds’ net expense ratios were in excess of the Funds’ unitary advisory fees. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that such expenses were not expected to be incurred at that level going forward. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until February 28, 2016, for PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio. The Trustees determined that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indexes, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio at a meeting held on April 17, 2014. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio’s assets, the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisers to PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Trustees also considered information provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. on the revenues it

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

receives under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they derived from their relationships with the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement for PowerShares Variable Rate Preferred Portfolio

 

At a meeting held on March 4, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the “Trust”), including the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust for the PowerShares Variable Rate Preferred Portfolio (the “Fund”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, (ii) the costs of services to be provided and estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser, (iii) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, (iv) whether the fee level reflects any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (v) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and (vi) any benefits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions to be performed by the Adviser for the Fund, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operations assistance provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and considered the quality of services provided by the Adviser to other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Trustees also reviewed information related to the Adviser’s portfolio transaction policies and procedures, as well as reports on the correlation and tracking error between the underlying indexes and the performance of other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser.

The Trustees also considered the services to be provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Fund’s administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time and effort that had been devoted to this oversight function for the other ETFs and that was expected to be provided for the Fund.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement were expected to be appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on the Fund’s proposed advisory fee, as compared to information compiled from Lipper Inc. databases on the average and median net expense ratios of comparable ETF peers, as well as the average and median net expense ratios of the Fund’s Lipper peer group, which includes ETF and non-ETF funds. The Trustees also noted the information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the advisory fees and net expense ratios of various types of ETFs and open-end actively managed funds that they had received in connection with the 2014 contract renewal process for other ETFs for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser. The Trustees noted that the proposed annual advisory fee to be charged to the Fund was a unitary fee, and that the Adviser has agreed to pay all other expenses of the Fund except brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s proposed unitary advisory fee generally was lower than or within an acceptable range of the average and median advisory fees and net expense ratios of the ETFs in its ETF universe and of the Fund’s Lipper peer group. The Trustees considered the Fund’s proposed advisory fee in light of the higher administrative, operational and management oversight costs. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s licensing fee was payable out of the unitary fee to be charged to the Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to the Fund is reasonable and appropriate in light of the services expected to be provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the costs of services for the Fund and the fees to be paid by the Adviser. The Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship with other ETFs for which it serves as investment adviser. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profits to be realized by the Adviser with respect to the Fund appeared to be reasonable in comparison with the cost of providing investment advisory services to the Fund.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Fund would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but that a unitary fee provides certainty in expenses for the Fund. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for the Fund is reasonable in relation to the projected asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of April 30, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-seven portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio (DWAS)    “DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio (PSCD)    “S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio (PSCC)    “S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio (PSCE)    “S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio (PSCF)    “S&P SmallCap Financials Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio (PSCH)    “S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio (PSCI)    “S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio (PSCT)    “S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio (PSCM)    “S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio (PSCU)    “S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, except for Shares of the DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, which are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

 

 

  35  

 


 

 

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

 

 

  36  

 


 

 

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a Fund holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities a Fund holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

 

 

  37  

 


 

 

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Securities Lending

DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio and S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of each Fund to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, each Fund (except for DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.29% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary fee of 0.60% of its average daily net assets. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Adviser waived fees for each Fund, in the following amounts:

 

DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio    $ 168   
S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio      64   
S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio      17   
S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio      7

S&P SmallCap Information Technology Portfolio      17   
S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio      3   
S&P SmallCap Utilities Portfolio      8   

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensors, and the Licensors make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of April 30, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 5. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

Note 7. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”) and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 8. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with each Fund’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 9. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares SmallCap Financials Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolio. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolio invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The Trustees previously approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on December 17, 2013.

Also at the April 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Limited; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and amounts paid by other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (other than PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Momentum Portfolio, which Funds had not commenced operations as of April 17, 2014), their underlying indexes and their primary benchmarks for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2013, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Ibbotson Associates, a consultant to the Independent Trustees, with respect to general expected tracking error ranges and various explanations for any tracking error. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the correlation for each Fund, other than the five-year period for PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, the since-inception period for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, the one- and three-year periods for PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and the one-, three- and five-year periods for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio’s and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio’s level of correlation to its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s expectations for such Fund’s correlation going forward. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement and concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, interest expenses associated with its line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not serve as the investment adviser to any clients, other than other ETFs also overseen by the Trustees, with comparable investment strategies as the Funds, but that the Adviser provides sub-advisory services to clients with comparable investment strategies as certain of the Funds. The Trustees further noted the Adviser’s explanation with respect to the sub-advisory fees it receives for such services in comparison to the advisory fees charged to the Funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee was:

 

    equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Quality Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, which were higher than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

 

   

equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, which was higher than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Infrastructure Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Bank Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Capital Markets Portfolio, PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Regional Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P

SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

 

    lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees also considered that, during the period, certain Funds incurred other expenses excluded from those Funds’ unitary advisory fees, such that those Funds’ net expense ratios were in excess of the Funds’ unitary advisory fees. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that such expenses were not expected to be incurred at that level going forward. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until February 28, 2016, for PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio. The Trustees determined that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indexes, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio at a meeting held on April 17, 2014. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio’s assets, the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisers to PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Trustees also considered information provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. on the revenues it

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

receives under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they derived from their relationships with the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of April 30, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-seven portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares KBW Bank Portfolio (KBWB)    “KBW Bank Portfolio”
PowerShares KBW Capital Markets Portfolio (KBWC)    “KBW Capital Markets Portfolio”
PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio (KBWD)    “KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio”
PowerShares KBW Insurance Portfolio (KBWI)    “KBW Insurance Portfolio”
PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio (KBWY)    “KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio”
PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio (KBWP)    “KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio”
PowerShares KBW Regional Banking Portfolio (KBWR)    “KBW Regional Banking Portfolio”
PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio (NYCC)    “NYSE Century Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an

 

 

  29  

 


 

 

exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that the Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize an investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities a Fund holds participate or factors relating to specific

 

 

  30  

 


 

 

companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a Fund holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities a Fund holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

High Dividend Paying Securities Risk. KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio invest in securities that pay high dividends. As a group, these securities can fall out of favor with the market, causing such companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of the companies in an Underlying Index and the capital resources available for such companies’ dividend payments may affect a Fund.

REIT Risk. Although KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio will not invest in real estate directly, the REITs in which the Funds invest are subject to risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include, but are not limited to, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund (except for KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio and KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio) declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly. KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio and KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio each declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly. Each Fund records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of London world markets. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments in securities. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations.

H. Securities Lending

During the period, KBW Bank Portfolio, KBW Insurance Portfolio and KBW Regional Banking Portfolio could lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any. Effective January 2014, these Funds no longer participate in securities lending.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, each Fund (except for NYSE Century Portfolio) has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, and NYSE Century Portfolio has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Out of unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily

 

 

  33  

 


 

 

available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

As of April 30, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2013.

 

     Short-term      Long-term      Total*      Utilized  
KBW Bank Portfolio    $       $       $       $   
KBW Capital Markets Portfolio              3,149         3,149         11,388

KBW Regional Banking Portfolio                                

 

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”) and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to

 

 

  35  

 


 

 

105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with each Fund’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month (or shorter) period ended April 30, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolio. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolio invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The Trustees previously approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on December 17, 2013.

Also at the April 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Limited; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and amounts paid by other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (other than PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Momentum Portfolio, which Funds had not commenced operations as of April 17, 2014), their underlying indexes and their primary benchmarks for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2013, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Ibbotson Associates, a consultant to the Independent Trustees, with respect to general expected tracking error ranges and various explanations for any tracking error. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the correlation for each Fund, other than the five-year period for PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, the since-inception period for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, the one- and three-year periods for PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and the one-, three- and five-year periods for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio’s and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio’s level of correlation to its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s expectations for such Fund’s correlation going forward. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement and concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, interest expenses associated with its line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not serve as the investment adviser to any clients, other than other ETFs also overseen by the Trustees, with comparable investment strategies as the Funds, but that the Adviser provides sub-advisory services to clients with comparable investment strategies as certain of the Funds. The Trustees further noted the Adviser’s explanation with respect to the sub-advisory fees it receives for such services in comparison to the advisory fees charged to the Funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee was:

 

    equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Quality Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, which were higher than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

 

   

equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, which was higher than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Infrastructure Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Bank Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Capital Markets Portfolio, PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Regional Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P

SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

 

    lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees also considered that, during the period, certain Funds incurred other expenses excluded from those Funds’ unitary advisory fees, such that those Funds’ net expense ratios were in excess of the Funds’ unitary advisory fees. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that such expenses were not expected to be incurred at that level going forward. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until February 28, 2016, for PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio. The Trustees determined that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indexes, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio at a meeting held on April 17, 2014. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio’s assets, the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisers to PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Trustees also considered information provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. on the revenues it

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

receives under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they derived from their relationships with the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Notes to Schedule of Investments:

(a)  Senior secured floating rate loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with any accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, it is anticipated that the senior secured floating rate loans will have an expected average life of three to five years.
(b)  Senior secured corporate loans and senior secured debt securities are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), as amended and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Senior secured corporate loans and senior secured debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days, but not greater than one year, and/or have interest rates that float at margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.
(c)  Defaulted security. Currently, the issuer is partially or fully in default with respect to interest payments. The aggregate value of these securities at April 30, 2014 was $234,278,059, which represented 3.19% of the Fund’s net assets.
(d)  The borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.
(e)  Security purchased or received in a transaction exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, as amended. The security may be resold pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act, typically to qualified institutional buyers. The aggregate value of these securities at April 30, 2014 was $353,834,794 which represented 4.82% of the Fund’s Net Assets.
(f)  Non-income producing security.
(g)  The security and the Fund are advised by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. and are therefore considered to be affiliated.

Notes to Financial Statements

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of April 30, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-seven portfolios. This report includes the following portfolio:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (BKLN)    “Senior Loan Portfolio”

The portfolio (the “Fund”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Fund are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” The Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of the Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index (the “Underlying Index”).

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Fund monitors for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

 

 

  14  

 


 

 

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. Fixed-income securities with longer maturities typically are more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than securities with shorter maturities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. There is a possibility that the credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. Because the Fund issues and redeems Creation Units principally for cash, it will incur higher costs in buying and selling securities than if it issued and redeemed Creation Units principally in-kind. In addition, the performance of the Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

 

 

  15  

 


 

 

Sampling Risk. The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in its Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting to an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in its Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.

Cash Transaction Risk. Unlike most exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), the Fund currently effects creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than primarily in-kind because of the nature of the Fund’s investments. As such, investments in the Fund’s Shares may be less tax efficient than investments in conventional ETFs.

High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities typically involve greater risk and are less liquid than higher grade issues. Changes in general economic conditions, changes in the financial condition of the issuers and changes in interest rates may adversely impact the ability of issuers of high yield securities to make timely payments of interest and principal.

Risk of Investing in Loans. Investments in loans are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a loan resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the borrower of a loan will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its obligation. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result in a reduction in the value of the loan and consequently a reduction in the value of the Fund’s investments and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Fund. Although the loans in which the Fund will invest generally will be secured by specific collateral, there can be no assurance that such collateral would satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the Fund’s access to the collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency loans and, therefore, the Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a loan.

There is no organized exchange on which loans are traded and reliable market quotations may not be readily available. Therefore, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation of loans than for securities with a more developed secondary market and the Fund may not realize full value in the event of the need to sell a loan. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain loans, the market may be subject to volatility, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, decreased liquidity and extended trade settlement periods. Some loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate the loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to lenders, including the Fund, such as invalidation of loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the borrower. Investments in loans also are subject to the risk of changes in legislation or state or federal regulations. If such legislation or regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans, the availability of loans for investment by the Fund may be adversely affected. Many loans are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state securities commission and often are not rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Generally, there is less readily available, reliable information about most loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Although a loan may be senior to equity and other debt securities in a borrower’s capital structure, such obligations may be structurally subordinated to obligations of the borrower’s subsidiaries.

C. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes investments made with cash collateral received.

D. Securities Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Basis

The Fund may purchase and sell interests in corporate loans and corporate debt securities and other portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. No income accrues to the Fund on such interests or securities in connection with such transactions prior to the date the Fund actually takes delivery of such interests or securities. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value of the interests or securities at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, it may sell such securities prior to the settlement date.

E. Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

 

 

  16  

 


 

 

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

The Fund files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

F. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized and/or accreted for financial reporting purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by the Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are received in return for changes in the terms of a loan or note.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

G. Expenses

The Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the payments to Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), set-up fees and commitment fees associated with the line of credit and the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including interest expenses associated with the line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

H. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, the Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s investments, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, the Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee of 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Fund, including payments to the Sub-Adviser, set-up fees and commitment fees associated with the Fund’s line of credit and the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including interest expenses associated with the line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with the Sub-Adviser. The sub-advisory fee is paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser at the annual rate of 40% of compensation paid to the Adviser from the Fund.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Adviser waived fees of $306,880.

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Fund is not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for the Fund with Standard & Poor’s (the “Licensor”). The Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. This trademark has been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Fund. The Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund.

 

 

 

  17  

 


The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for the Fund.

Note 4. Security Transactions with Affiliated Entities

The Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other affiliated entities under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended April 30, 2014, the Fund engaged in securities sales of $28,787,982, which resulted in net realized gains (losses) of $(132,148).

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

The following is a summary of the tiered valuation input levels, as of April 30, 2014. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Fund to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward in the amount of $5,989,716 as of October 31, 2013, which is not subject to expiration.

Note 7. Investment Transactions

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, the cost of securities purchased and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, was $2,666,704,131 and $1,552,039,714 respectively.

At April 30, 2014, cost of investments on a tax basis includes adjustments for financial reporting purposes, as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end:

 

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment Securities on a Tax Basis

 
Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investment securities   $ 36,620,105   
Aggregate unrealized (depreciation) of investment securities     (75,907,276
 

 

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities   $ (39,287,171
 

 

 

 

Cost of investments for tax and financial reporting purposes is the same.

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Fund to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”) and Officer of the Fund. The Adviser, as a result of the unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund.

Note 9. Senior Loan Participation Commitments

The Fund may invest in participations, assignments, or acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Senior Loan interest to corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Fund purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, but not with the borrower directly. As such, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower, selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower.

During the six-month period April 30, 2014, there were no interests in Senior Loans purchased by the Fund on a participation basis.

Note 10. Borrowing

The Fund is a party to a committed line of credit facility with a syndicate administered by State Street Bank and Trust Company. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of (1) $650,000,000, or (2) the limits set by its prospectus for borrowings. The Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, pays a commitment fee of 0.125% and an upfront fee of 0.05% on the committed amount. In case of borrowings from the line of credit, the Fund pays the associated interest expenses.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, there were no outstanding borrowings from the line of credit.

Note 11. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units of 100,000 Shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. Unlike most ETFs, the Fund currently effects creations and redemptions principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of cash, rather than principally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”) because of the nature of the Fund’s investments.

To the extent that the Fund permits transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, the Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with the Fund’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

The Fund charges certain transaction fees for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital, which are shown in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets as Transaction fees.

Transactions in the Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 12. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Fund”), a series of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including interest expenses associated with the line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2014.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)  Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio, which represents the ongoing expenses as a percentage of net assets for the six-month period ended April 30, 2014. Expenses are calculated by multiplying the Fund’s annualized expense ratio by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by 181/365.

* The Trustees previously approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on December 17, 2013.

Also at the April 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Limited; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and amounts paid by other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (other than PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Momentum Portfolio, which Funds had not commenced operations as of April 17, 2014), their underlying indexes and their primary benchmarks for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2013, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Ibbotson Associates, a consultant to the Independent Trustees, with respect to general expected tracking error ranges and various explanations for any tracking error. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the correlation for each Fund, other than the five-year period for PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, the since-inception period for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, the one- and three-year periods for PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and the one-, three- and five-year periods for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio’s and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio’s level of correlation to its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s expectations for such Fund’s correlation going forward. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement and concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, interest expenses associated with its line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not serve as the investment adviser to any clients, other than other ETFs also overseen by the Trustees, with comparable investment strategies as the Funds, but that the Adviser provides sub-advisory services to clients with comparable investment strategies as certain of the Funds. The Trustees further noted the Adviser’s explanation with respect to the sub-advisory fees it receives for such services in comparison to the advisory fees charged to the Funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee was:

 

    equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Quality Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, which were higher than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

 

   

equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, which was higher than the median net expense ratio of its open-end index peer funds; and there was no comparable data for PowerShares Build America Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Developed Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Infrastructure Portfolio, PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Emerging Markets Local Debt Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Bank Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Capital Markets Portfolio, PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Property & Casualty Insurance Portfolio, PowerShares KBW Regional Banking Portfolio, PowerShares Preferred Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Consumer Staples Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Energy Portfolio, PowerShares S&P

SmallCap Financials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Health Care Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Industrials Portfolio, PowerShares S&P SmallCap Materials Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio or PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio); but

 

    lower than the median expense ratio of its open-end actively-managed peer funds.

The Trustees also considered that, during the period, certain Funds incurred other expenses excluded from those Funds’ unitary advisory fees, such that those Funds’ net expense ratios were in excess of the Funds’ unitary advisory fees. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that such expenses were not expected to be incurred at that level going forward. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until February 28, 2016, for PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio. The Trustees determined that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indexes, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio at a meeting held on April 17, 2014. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio’s assets, the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisers to PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Trustees also considered information provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. on the revenues it

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

receives under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they derived from their relationships with the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

(e)  The net asset value total return from Fund Inception (February 15, 2013, the first day of trading on the Exchange) to October 31, 2013 was 19.62%. The market price total return from Fund Inception to October 31, 2013 was 19.63%.
(f)  In addition to the fees and expenses, which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. Estimated investment company expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment company and are deducted from the value of the funds that the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies expenses that the Fund bears indirectly is included in the Fund’s total returns.
(g)  Annualized.
(h)  Portfolio turnover rate is not annualized and does not include securities received or delivered from processing creations or redemptions.

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II

April 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization

PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 10, 2006 and is authorized to have multiple series of portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of April 30, 2014, the Trust offered fifty-seven portfolios. This report includes the following portfolios:

 

Full Name

  

Short Name

PowerShares S&P 500® High Beta Portfolio (SPHB)    “S&P 500® High Beta Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P 500® High Dividend Portfolio (SPHD)    “S&P 500® High Dividend Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P 500® Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV)    “S&P 500® Low Volatility Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio (EEHB)    “S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio”

PowerShares S&P MidCap Low Volatility Portfolio (XMLV)    “S&P MidCap Low Volatility Portfolio”
PowerShares S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio (XSLV)    “S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio”

Each portfolio (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) represents a separate series of the Trust. The shares of the Funds are referred to herein as “Shares” or “Fund’s Shares.” Each Fund’s Shares are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc.

The market prices of each Fund’s Shares may differ to some degree from the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in a large specified number of Shares, each called a “Creation Unit.” Creation Units are issued and in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities (“Deposit Securities”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units by Authorized Participants, the Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of its respective index listed below (each, an “Underlying Index”):

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, the Funds monitor for material events or transactions that may occur or become known after the period-end date and before the date the financial statements are released to print.

A. Security Valuation

Securities, including restricted securities, are valued according to the following policies.

A security listed or traded on an exchange (except convertible securities) is valued at its last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded, or lacking any sales or official closing

 

 

  41  

 


 

 

price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued based on prices furnished by independent pricing services or market makers. When such securities are valued by an independent pricing service they may be considered fair valued. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally traded. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. Options not listed on an exchange are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. For purposes of determining NAV per share, futures and option contracts generally are valued 15 minutes after the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.

Debt obligations (including convertible securities) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to specific securities, dividend rate (for unlisted equities), yield (for debt obligations), quality, type of issue, coupon rate (for debt obligations), maturity (for debt obligations), individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt obligations are subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt obligations involve some risk of default with respect to interest and/or principal payments.

Foreign securities’ (including foreign exchange contracts) prices are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using the applicable exchange rates as of the close of the London world markets. If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) determines are significant and make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If the event is likely to have affected the closing price of the security, the security will be valued at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process of an independent pricing service to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current value as of the close of the NYSE. Foreign securities’ prices meeting the approved degree of certainty that the price is not reflective of current value will be priced at the indication of fair value from the independent pricing service. Multiple factors may be considered by the independent pricing service in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary Receipts and domestic and foreign index futures. Foreign securities may have additional risks including exchange rate changes, potential for sharply devalued currencies and high inflation, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of issuer information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.

Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources. The last bid price may be used to value equity securities. The mean between the last bid and asked prices is used to value debt obligations, including corporate loans.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or became unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Issuer-specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value.

Each Fund may invest in securities that are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the risk that the prices will generally fall as interest rates rise and, conversely, the prices will generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific securities differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics. Changes in interest rates may result in increased market volatility, which may affect the value and/or liquidity of certain of each Fund’s investments.

Valuations change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

B. Other Risks

Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Funds do not utilize investing strategies that seek returns in excess of their Underlying Indexes. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the securities that each Fund holds will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities that a Fund holds participate or factors relating to

 

 

  42  

 


 

 

specific companies in which the Funds invest. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of securities a Fund holds; the price of securities may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the securities a Fund holds. In addition, securities of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition.

Industry Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, each Fund’s Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers located in a single industry or a sector. To the extent that an Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, each Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, a Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole. Any factors detrimental to the performance of such industry or sector will disproportionately impact a Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Each Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than diversified funds. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on a Fund’s performance.

Non-Correlation Risk. Each Fund’s return may not match the return of its Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.

Small Capitalization Company Risk. For S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio, investing in securities of small capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Medium Capitalization Company Risk. For S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio and S&P MidCap Low Volatility Portfolio, investing in securities of medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often medium capitalization companies are still evolving and, as a result, may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Foreign Investment Risk. For S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability, local taxation, potential currency transfer restrictions or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. As the Funds may invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities and may negatively impact the Funds’ returns.

C. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Fund’s taxable earnings to its shareholders. As such, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including net realized gains) that is distributed to the shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These timing differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and passive foreign investment company adjustments, if any.

 

 

  43  

 


 

 

The Funds file U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in certain other jurisdictions. Generally, a Fund is subject to examinations by such taxing authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return for the tax period.

D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are computed on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains, dividends and interest received by a Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded net of non-reclaimable foreign tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date.

E. Expenses

Each Fund has agreed to pay an annual unitary management fee to the Adviser. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay for substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any).

To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, the expenses shown in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses of the investment companies in which it invests. The effects of such investment companies’ expenses are included in the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the investments in the investment companies.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Each Fund (except for S&P 500® High Dividend Portfolio and S&P 500® Low Volatility Portfolio) declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders quarterly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. S&P 500® High Dividend Portfolio and S&P 500® Low Volatility Portfolio each declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, to its shareholders monthly and records such dividends on ex-dividend date. Generally, each Fund distributes net realized taxable capital gains, if any, annually in cash and records them on ex-dividend date. Such distributions on a tax basis are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in such Fund’s financial statements as a tax return of capital at fiscal period-end.

G. Securities Lending

S&P 500® High Beta Portfolio, S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of each Fund’s total assets. Such loans are secured by cash collateral equal to no less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities determined daily by the securities lending provider. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in an affiliated money market fund and is shown as such on the Schedule of Investments. It is the policy of these Funds to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to a Fund if, and to the extent that, the market value of the securities loaned were to increase, and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. Upon the failure of the borrower to return the securities, collateral may be liquidated and the securities may be purchased on the open market to replace the loaned securities. A Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. A Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Dividends received on cash collateral investments for securities lending transactions, which are net of compensation to counterparties, are included in Securities lending income on the Statements of Operations. The aggregate value of securities out on loan is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any.

Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser has overall responsibility for the selection and ongoing monitoring of the Funds’ investments, managing the Funds’ business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services.

As compensation for its services, each Fund has agreed to pay the Adviser an annual unitary management fee. Out of the unitary management fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, except for advisory fees, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The unitary management fee is paid by each Fund to the Adviser at the following annual rates:

 

     % of Average

* The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its unitary management fee through February 28, 2016. After giving effect to such waiver, the Fund’s net unitary management fee is 0.29% of its average daily net assets. Unless the Adviser continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2016. The fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated during its term.

 

**The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its unitary management fee through February 28, 2016.

Unless the Adviser continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February 28, 2016. The fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated during its term.

Further, through August 31, 2015, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fees an affiliate of the Adviser receives that are attributable to certain of the Fund’s investments in money market funds managed by that affiliate (excluding investments of cash collateral from securities lending). The Adviser cannot discontinue this waiver prior to its expiration.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Adviser waived fees for each Fund, in the following amounts:

 

S&P 500® High Beta Portfolio    $ 97   
S&P 500® High Dividend Portfolio      63

The Trust has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), which serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares. The Funds are not charged any fees pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into a licensing agreement for each Fund with Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (the “Licensor”). Each Underlying Index name trademark is owned by the Licensor. These trademarks have been licensed to the Adviser for use by the Funds. Each Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to the Trust’s sub-licensing agreement with the Adviser. The Funds are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by the Licensor, and the Licensor makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of the Funds.

The Trust has entered into service agreements whereby The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as the administrator, custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for each Fund.

Note 4. Investments in Affiliates

Each Fund’s Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., and therefore Invesco Ltd. is considered to be affiliated. The table below shows the Fund’s transactions in, and earnings from, its investments in Invesco Ltd. for the six-month period ended April 30, 2014.

Note 5. Additional Valuation Information

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods, giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical

 

 

  45  

 


 

 

assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), generally when market prices are not readily available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the securities or other investments are tiered into one of three levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level:

 

  Level 1 — Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market for identical assets.

 

  Level 2 — Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount rates, volatilities and others.

 

  Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in determining fair value of the securities or instruments and would be based on the best available information.

Except for the Funds listed below, as of April 30, 2014, all of the securities in each Fund were valued based on Level 1 inputs (see the Schedule of Investments for security categories). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

Note 6. Tax Information

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforward) under federal income tax regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at the Funds’ fiscal year-end.

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Funds to utilize. Capital losses generated in years beginning after December 22, 2010 can be carried forward for an unlimited period, whereas previous losses expire in 8 tax years. Capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

The following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2013, which is not subject to expiration:

 

     Capital Loss Carryforward  
     Short-Term      Long-Term      Total*  
S&P 500® High Beta Portfolio    $ 3,482,640       $ 378,785       $ 3,861,425

S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio      80,071                 80,071   

 

* Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code and may be further limited depending upon a variety of factors, including the realization of net unrealized gains or losses as of the date of any reorganization.

Note 8. Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees

Trustees’ and Officer’s Fees include amounts accrued by the Funds to pay remuneration to each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”) and Officer of the Funds. The Adviser, as a result of each Fund’s unitary management fee, pays for such compensation. The Trustee who is an “interested person” (the “Non-Independent Trustee”) of the Trust does not receive any Trustees’ fees.

The Trust has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee who has executed a Deferred Fee Agreement (a “Participating Trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation (“Deferral Fees”). Such Deferral Fees are deemed to be invested in select PowerShares Funds. The Deferral Fees payable to the Participating Trustee are valued as of the date such Deferral Fees would have been paid to the Participating Trustee. The value increases with contributions or with increases in the

 

 

  47  

 


 

 

value of the Shares selected, and the value decreases with distributions or with declines in the value of the Shares selected. Obligations under the deferred compensation plan represent unsecured claims against the general assets of the Funds.

Note 9. Capital

Shares are created and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares (100,000 Shares for S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio). Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. Such transactions are generally permitted in exchange for Deposit Securities, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per Share of a Fund of the Trust on the transaction date. However, for all Funds, cash in an amount equivalent to the value of certain securities may be substituted, generally when the securities are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances.

To the extent that the Funds permit transactions in exchange for Deposit Securities, each Fund may issue Shares in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash at least equal to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In accordance with each Fund’s Participant Agreement, Creation Units will be issued to an Authorized Participant, notwithstanding the fact that the corresponding Deposit Securities have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant’s delivery and maintenance of collateral consisting of cash in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds having a value (marked-to-market daily) at least equal to 105%, which the Adviser may change from time to time, of the value of the missing Deposit Securities.

S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio charges certain transaction fees for creations and redemptions, which are treated as increases in capital, which are shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as Transaction fees.

Transactions in each Fund’s Shares are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 10. Indemnifications

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Each Independent Trustee is also indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of his duties to the Trust pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement between the Independent Trustee and the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Fees and Expenses

 

As a shareholder of a Fund of the PowerShares Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II, you incur a unitary management fee. In addition to the unitary management fee, a shareholder may pay distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses (including acquired fund fees and expenses, if any). The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the six-month period ended April 30, 2014.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the PowerShares S&P SmallCap Low Volatility Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the investment companies in which the Portfolio invests. The amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary because the investment companies have varied expenses and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of the investment companies at different times. Estimated investment companies’ expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Portfolio. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the investment companies and are deducted from the value of the investment companies the Portfolio invests in. The effect of the estimated investment companies’ expenses that you bear indirectly are included in the Portfolio’s total returns.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges and brokerage commissions. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, expenses shown in the table do not include the expenses of the underlying funds, which are borne indirectly by a Fund. If transaction costs and indirect expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The Trustees previously approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on December 17, 2013.

Also at the April 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the following eight affiliated sub-advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”): Invesco Advisers, Inc.; Invesco Asset Management Deutschland, GmbH; Invesco Asset Management Limited; Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited; Invesco Australia Limited; Invesco Hong Kong Limited; Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc.; and Invesco Canada Ltd. (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).

The Trustees reviewed information from the Adviser describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser, (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and amounts paid by other registered investment companies and (vii) any benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Board Considerations Regarding Continuation of Investment Advisory

Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (continued)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the functions performed by the Adviser for the Funds, information describing the Adviser’s current organization and staffing, including operational support provided by the Adviser’s parent organization, Invesco Ltd., and the background and experience of the persons responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed matters related to the Adviser’s execution of portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information on the performance of the Funds (other than PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio and PowerShares S&P 500® High Momentum Portfolio, which Funds had not commenced operations as of April 17, 2014), their underlying indexes and their primary benchmarks for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2013, as applicable, including reports for each of those periods on the correlation and tracking error between each Fund’s performance and the performance of its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s analysis of the tracking error between each Fund and its underlying index. In reviewing the tracking error report, the Trustees considered information provided by Ibbotson Associates, a consultant to the Independent Trustees, with respect to general expected tracking error ranges and various explanations for any tracking error. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the correlation for each Fund, other than the five-year period for PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, the since-inception period for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio, the one- and three-year periods for PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio and the one-, three- and five-year periods for PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement. The Trustees reviewed the reasons provided by the Adviser for PowerShares Global Short Term High Yield Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio’s, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio’s and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio’s level of correlation to its underlying index, as well as the Adviser’s expectations for such Fund’s correlation going forward. The Trustees noted that for each applicable period, the tracking error for each Fund was within the targeted range set forth in the Trust’s registration statement and concluded that each Fund’s correlation to its underlying index and the tracking error for each Fund were within an acceptable range given that Fund’s particular circumstances.

The Trustees also considered the services provided by the Adviser in its oversight of the Funds’ administrator, custodian and transfer agent. They noted the significant amount of time, effort and resources that had been devoted to this oversight function.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser on each Fund’s net expense ratio and unitary advisory fee, as compared to information compiled by the Adviser from Lipper Inc. databases on the net expense ratios of comparable exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), open-end (non-ETF) index funds and open-end actively-managed funds. The Trustees noted that the annual advisory fee charged to each Fund, as set forth below, is a unitary fee and that the Adviser pays all other operating expenses of each Fund, including the fees payable to the Sub-Advisers for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, except that each Fund pays its brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, interest expenses associated with its line of credit), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser represented that it does not serve as the investment adviser to any clients, other than other ETFs also overseen by the Trustees, with comparable investment strategies as the Funds, but that the Adviser provides sub-advisory services to clients with comparable investment strategies as certain of the Funds. The Trustees further noted the Adviser’s explanation with respect to the sub-advisory fees it receives for such services in comparison to the advisory fees charged to the Funds. The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee was:

 

    equal to or lower than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds (except for the advisory fee of each of PowerShares 1-30 Laddered Treasury Portfolio, PowerShares Aggregate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio, PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares DWA SmallCap Momentum Portfolio, PowerShares FTSE RAFI Developed Markets ex-U.S. Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental High Yield® Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Fundamental Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio, PowerShares Global Clean Energy Portfolio, PowerShares Global Gold and Precious Metals Portfolio, PowerShares Global Water Portfolio, PowerShares Insured California Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured National Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares Insured New York Municipal Bond Portfolio, PowerShares International BuyBack AchieversTM Portfolio, PowerShares International Corporate Bond Portfolio, PowerShares NYSE Century Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Quality Portfolio, PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and PowerShares VRDO Tax-Free Weekly Portfolio, which were higher than the median net expense ratio of its ETF peer funds); and

The Trustees also considered that, during the period, certain Funds incurred other expenses excluded from those Funds’ unitary advisory fees, such that those Funds’ net expense ratios were in excess of the Funds’ unitary advisory fees. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s belief that such expenses were not expected to be incurred at that level going forward. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee, at least until February 28, 2016, for PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets High Beta Portfolio, PowerShares S&P Emerging Markets Low Volatility Portfolio, PowerShares S&P International Developed High Beta Portfolio and PowerShares S&P International Developed Low Volatility Portfolio. The Trustees determined that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable because of the complexity of the indexes, the distinguishing factors of the Funds and the administrative, operational and management oversight costs for the Adviser. The Trustees also noted that a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee was attributable to a license fee payable out of the unitary fee charged to that Fund. The Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee charged to each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided.

In conjunction with their review of the unitary advisory fee, the Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser on the revenues received by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser on its profitability, as well as any profits or losses realized by the Adviser from its relationship to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the estimated profitability to the Adviser of the advisory services provided to any of the Funds was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the information provided by the Adviser as to the extent to which economies of scale are realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s asset size and expense ratio. The Trustees noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the Funds would be enjoyed by the Adviser, but a unitary fee provides a level of certainty in expenses for the Funds. The Trustees considered whether the advisory fee rate for each Fund was reasonable in relation to the asset size of that Fund, and concluded that the flat advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Adviser had not identified any further benefits that it derived from its relationship with the Funds and had noted that it does not have any soft-dollar arrangements.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

As noted above, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio at a meeting held on April 17, 2014. The review process followed by the Board is described in detail above. In connection with the review of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the factors described below, among others.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the benefits described by the Adviser in having multiple affiliated Sub-Advisers. The Board reviewed the qualifications and background of each Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser whose investment personnel manage the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio’s assets, the experience and skills of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel.

Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisers to PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were appropriate and reasonable.

Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers on the sub-advisory fee rate under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that the sub-advisory fee charged by the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is consistent with the compensation structure used throughout Invesco when Invesco’s affiliates provide sub-advisory services for funds managed by other Invesco affiliates. The Board considered how the sub-advisory fees relate to the overall advisory fee for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio and noted that the Adviser compensates the Sub-Advisers from its fee. The Trustees also considered information provided by Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. on the revenues it

receives under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees were reasonable in light of the sub-advisory services provided to the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. As part of their review of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio, the Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered whether the sub-advisory fee rate for PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio was reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund, and concluded that the flat sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisers had not identified any further benefits that they derived from their relationships with the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.
