ETN Performance & Index History (%)(1)



Source: DB, Bloomberg

(1)Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual PowerShares DB Gold ETN performance. The inception date of the Deutsche
Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Gold[] is May 24, 2006. Index
history is based on a combination of the monthly returns from the Deutsche Bank
Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Gold Excess Return[] (the "Gold Index")
plus the monthly returns from the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"),
resetting monthly as per the formula applied to the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs,
less the investor fee. The Gold Index is intended to reflect changes in the
market value of certain gold futures contracts and is comprised of a single
unfunded gold futures contract. The T-Bill Index is intended to approximate the
returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a rolling
basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are
unmanaged, and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES
NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. For current index and PowerShares DB Gold ETN
performance, go to dbfunds.db.com/notes.

in stock market conditions based on the performance of a specified group of
common stocks. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged

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

The PowerShares DB Gold ETNs are concentrated in gold. The market value of the
PowerShares DB Gold ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors,
including, among other things, volatile gold prices, changes in supply and
demand relationships, changes in interest rates and monetary and other
governmental actions. The PowerShares DB Gold 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 Gold Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Gold 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.

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch has filed a registration statement (including a
prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.
Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents filed by
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch for more complete information about the issuer
and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting
dbfunds.db.com or EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, you
may request a prospectus by calling 800.983.0903, or you may request a copy
from any dealer participating in this offering.

The PowerShares DB Gold 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.
