An investment in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs involves risks, including
possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see "Risk
Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement.

Not FDIC Insured -- No Bank Guarantee -- May Lose Value

The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch that are linked to the Index. The PowerShares
DB Base Metals ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and
have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Base
Metals ETNs include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal
repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses.
Investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is not equivalent to a direct
investment in the Index or index components. The investor fee will reduce the
amount of your return at maturity or upon redemption of your PowerShares DB
Base Metals ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at
any time the redemption value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is zero,
your investment will expire worthless. Deutsche Bank may accelerate the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs upon the occurrence of a regulatory event as
described in the pricing supplement. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply, and
there are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs. Sales in the secondary market may result in
losses. An investment in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may not be
suitable for all investors.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in aluminum, copper and
zinc futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs
may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile base metal prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes
in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares
DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in a single commodity sector, are
speculative and generally will exhibit higher volatility than commodity
products linked to more than one commodity sector.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Base Metals
Double Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are likely to be
more volatile than an unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk of
loss of principal associated with a leveraged investment than with an
unleveraged investment.

The PowerShares DB ETNs (the "ETNs") are not suitable for all investors and
should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage
risk, consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results and intend
to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investing in the ETNs is not
equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components because the
current principal amount (the amount you invested) is reset each month,
resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. The principal amount is also
subject to the investor fee, which can adversely affect returns. The amount you
receive at maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase) will be contingent upon
each monthly performance of the index during the term of the securities. There
is no guarantee that you will receive at maturity, or upon an earlier
repurchase your initial investment back or any return on that investment.
Significant adverse monthly performances for your securities may not be offset
by any beneficial monthly performances.
