2 Investment Summary
• The trust and certain funds held by the trust
invest in MLPs. MLPs are limited partnerships or
limited liability companies that are generally taxed
as partnerships with interests traded on securities
exchanges. Most MLPs generally operate in the
energy natural resources or real estate sector and
are subject to the risks generally applicable to
companies in those sectors. MLPs are also subject
to the risk that authorities could challenge the tax
treatment of MLPs for federal income tax purpos-
es which could have a negative impact on the
after-tax income available for distribution by the
MLPs and/or the value of the trust’s investments.

• The funds may invest significantly in stocks of


small and mid-size companies. These stocks are
often more volatile and have lower trading vol-
umes than stocks of larger companies. Small and
mid-size companies may have limited products or
financial resources, management inexperience and
less publicly available information.

• The funds may invest in unrated securities or


securities rated below investment grade and are
considered to be “junk” securities. These securi-
ties are considered to be speculative and are sub-
ject to greater market and credit risks.
Accordingly, the risk of default is higher than
investment grade securities. In addition, these
securities may be more sensitive to interest rate
changes and may be more likely to make early
returns of principal.

• Securities of foreign issuers held by the underlying


funds in the trust present risks beyond those of
U.S. issuers. These risks may include market and
political factors related to the issuer’s foreign mar-
ket, international trade conditions, the global and
country-specific political environment, less regula-
tion, smaller or less liquid markets, increased
volatility, differing accounting practices and
changes in the value of foreign currencies.

• We do not actively manage the portfolio. While


the closed-end funds have managed portfolios,
except in limited circumstances, the trust will
hold, and continue to buy, shares of the same
funds even if their market value declines.

Notes to Portfolio

(1) Securities are represented by contracts to purchase such securities. The value of each security is based on the most recent clos-
ing sale price of each security as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day prior to the
trust’s inception date. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, the trust’s invest-
ments are classified as Level 1, which refers to security prices determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical secu-
rities.

(2) The cost of the securities to the sponsor and the sponsor’s profit or (loss) (which is the difference between the cost of the securi-
ties to the sponsor and the cost of the securities to the trust) are $__________ and $__________, respectively.

(3) These are securities of closed-end funds that have elected to be treated as business development companies under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.

(4) This is a non-income producing security.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Advisors Disciplined Trust 662
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition, including the trust portfolio on pages 4, 5 and 6, of Advisors Disciplined
Trust 662, as of January __, 2011, the initial date of deposit. The statement of financial condition is the responsibility of the trust’s sponsor.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of financial condition based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of financial condition is free
of material misstatement. The trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial report-
ing. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropri-
ate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the trust’s internal control over financial report-
ing. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclo-
sures in the statement of financial condition, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the sponsor, as well as
evaluating the overall statement of financial condition presentation. Our procedures included confirmation with The Bank of New York
Mellon, trustee, of cash or an irrevocable letter of credit deposited for the purchase of securities as shown in the statement of financial condi-
tion as of January __, 2011. We believe that our audit of the statement of financial condition provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the statement of financial condition referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Advisors
Disciplined Trust 662 as of January __, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) Aggregate cost of the securities is based on the closing sale price evaluations as determined by the evaluator.
(2) Cash or an irrevocable letter of credit has been deposited with the trustee covering the funds (aggregating $200,000) necessary for the purchase of
securities in the trust represented by purchase contracts.
(3) A portion of the public offering price represents an amount sufficient to pay for all or a portion of the costs incurred in establishing and offering
the trust. These costs have been estimated at $0.05 per unit for the trust. A distribution will be made as of the earlier of the close of the initial
offering period or six months following the trust’s inception date to an account maintained by the trustee from which this obligation of the
investors will be satisfied. To the extent the actual organization costs are greater than the estimated amount, only the estimated organization costs
added to the public offering price will be reimbursed to the sponsor and deducted from the assets of the trust.
(4) The total sales fee consists of an initial sales fee, a deferred sales fee and a creation & development fee. The initial sales fee is equal to the differ-
ence between the maximum sales fee and the sum of the remaining deferred sales fee and the total creation & development fee. On the inception
date, the total sales fee is 3.95% of the public offering price per unit. The deferred sales fee is equal to $0.235 per unit and the creation & devel-
opment fee is equal to $0.06 per unit.
(5) The aggregate cost to investors includes the applicable sales fee assuming no reduction of sales fees.
