PCEF

PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio

PCEF Description

The PowerShares CEF Income Composite Portfolio (Fund) is based on the S-Network Composite Closed-End Fund IndexSM (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities of funds included in the Index. The Fund is a "fund of funds," as it invests its assets in the common shares of funds included in the Index rather than in individual securities. The Index currently includes closed-end funds that invest in taxable investment grade fixed-income securities, taxable high yield fixed-income securities and others utilize an equity option writing (selling) strategy. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.

HIPS

Master Income ETF

HIPS Description The Master Income ETF seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the TFMS HIPS 300 Index. The Index is constructed to capture 300 high income securities, typically with pass-through structures, across the following sectors: (i) closed-end funds (“CEFs”), (ii) mortgage real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), (iii) commercial equity REITs, (iv) residential/diversified REITs, (v) asset management and business development companies (“BDCs”), and (vi) energy production and energy transportation & processing companies. Energy-related companies included in the Index are expected to primarily be structured as master limited partnerships (“MLPs”). CEFs included in the Index are limited to taxable, debt-based funds and may include CEFs that invest primarily in bank loans, high-yield securities (also known as “junk bonds”), foreign securities (including those in emerging markets), and mortgage- or asset-backed securities. The Index is constituted using proprietary methodology developed by Trust and Fiduciary Management Services, Inc. The Index Provider determines the relative weightings of the securities in the Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Index.
