Certain built-in costs are likely to adversely affect the value of the

You have no periodic coupon or dividend payments or voting rights.

The securities will not be listed and there will likely be limited liquidity.

Our research, opinions or recommendations could affect the level of the
underlyings or the market value of the securities.

Our actions as calculation agent of the securities and our hedging activity may
adversely affect the value of the securities.

Many economic and market factors will affect the value of the securities.

The information contained in this presentation does not provide personal
investment advice. Some of the information contained in this presentation is
provided by or based on third party sources. The information contained in this
presentation is accurate only as of the date referenced.

Any transaction that may involve the products, services and strategies referred
to in this presentation will involve risks. You could lose your entire
investment or incur substantial loss. This presentation does not disclose such
risks in full detail. The products, services and strategies referred to herein
may not be suitable for all investors. In contemplating any transaction, you
should consult with your own investment advisors.

You should consult with independent accounting, tax, legal and regulatory
counsel regarding such matters as they may apply to your particular
circumstances. Foreign currency rates of exchange may adversely affect the
value, price or income of any security or investment. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.

Past Performance

The past performance of securities, indexes or other instruments referred to
herein does not guarantee or predict future performance.

Deutsche Bank may hold positions

We or our affiliates or persons associated with us or such affiliates may:
maintain a long or short position in securities referred to herein, or in
related futures or options, purchase or sell, make a market in, or engage in any
other transaction involving such securities, and earn brokerage or other
compensation.

Derivatives

These investments typically involve a high degree of risk, are not transferable
and typically will not be listed or traded on any exchange and are intended for
sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and
assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured investment may
be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including,
but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to
maturity, market conditions and volatility and the equity prices and credit
quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor should conduct his/her
own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with its own
professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase; since,
it may be difficult to realize the investment prior to maturity, obtain reliable
information about the market value of such investments or the extent of the
risks to which they are exposed, including the risk of total loss of capital.

Additional information may be available upon request. Any results shown do not
reflect the impact of commissions and/or fees, unless stated.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Backtesting

Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results discussed herein have
inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record based on trading
actual client portfolios, simulated results are achieved by means of the
retroactive application of a backtested model itself designed with the benefit
of hindsight. Taking into account historical events the backtesting of
performance also differs from actual account performance because an actual
investment strategy may be adjusted any time, for any reason, including a
response to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performance
includes hypothetical results that do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends
and other earnings or the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other
commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually
paid. No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will or is
likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Alternative modeling
techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and
prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an
indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps
materially, from the analysis.

Calculations of returns

Calculations of returns on instruments referred to herein may be linked to a
referenced index or interest rate. In such cases, the investments may not be
suitable for persons unfamiliar with such index or interest rate, or unwilling
or unable to bear the risks associated with the transaction. Products
denominated in a currency, other than the investor's home currency, will be
subject to changes in exchange rates, which may have an adverse effect on the
value, price or income return of the products. These products may not be readily
realizable investments and are not traded on any regulated market. The
securities referred to herein involve risk, which may include interest rate,
index, currency, credit, political, liquidity, time value, commodity and market
risk and is not suitable for all investors.

Not insured

These instruments are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) or any other U.S. governmental agency. These instruments are not insured
by any statutory scheme or governmental agency of the United Kingdom. The
distribution of this document and availability of these products and services in
