Executive Summary The Evolution of Commodity Markets o Commodities are an asset class in their own right and exhibit unique characteristics such as historically low correlation with traditional asset classes and a positive correlation with inflation o An investment in a commodity index is a simple way for investors to gain exposure to the asset class while insulating them from the mechanics of rolling futures and posting collateral. This transparent, rule-based roll mechanism eliminates human intervention o Deutsche Bank is one of the largest providers of non-benchmark commodity indices with a comprehensive suite of commodity index products aimed at enhancing beta returns and extracting market neutral alpha returns in the commodity space o As the commodity market has evolved, Deutsche Bank has created new indices that may benefit from the special features of the asset class 3

Enhanced Beta and Alpha Indices OPTIMUM YIELD BASED INDEX o Since 2003, investors have been drawn to enhanced beta allocation and alpha strategies using commodity indices. The need for these strategies arises due to several properties that are unique to the commodities asset class. o Managing Roll Returns: Unlike other asset classes, roll returns form a significant part of the overall returns in the commodity complex. Most commodity indices do not react to the changing nature of the commodity term structure. - DJUBS Booster TV 14 Index enables investors to replicate the performance of their commodity benchmark index using Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY") indices(1). ALPHA GENERATING INDEX o Market Neutral Alpha Returns: The OY methodology enables Deutsche Bank to create non directional, market neutral exposure to commodities. This is done by combining the short exposure to a benchmark commodity index with an equivalent long exposure through replication of that index using the OY methodology. - The DB Commodity Harvest TV 10 Index is designed to provide market neutral stable returns at a controlled volatility level. Note: 1 Please see Appendix for a brief explanation of the roll return. 4

DB Commodity Booster DJUBS 14 TV Index Excess Return (ER) Index Summary Key Features o Composition of DJUBS Booster Index: The DJUBS Booster Index has the same base weights as the DJUBS Index. o Optimizing Roll Returns: The DJUBS Booster Index employs Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY") technology, which rolls an expiring contract into the contract that maximizes positive roll yield (in a backwardated market) or minimizes negative roll yield (in a contango market) from the list of tradable futures which expire in the next 13 months. o Target Volatility: The DJUBS Booster TV 14 Index varies its participation in the DJUBS Booster Index with a view to target a volatility of 14%. o Transparency: The DJUBS Booster TV 14 is a rules-based index with the closing level and weights published daily on Bloomberg (DBCMBTVE) and DBIQ. 5

Excess Return vs. Total Return Indices o The DB Commodity Booster DJUBS 14 TV Index Excess Return is an "Excess Return" Index. An Excess Return Index has two sources of return: - Movements in Spot Prices, and - Roll Returns: Commodity indices are made up of futures contracts, and the method in which these contracts are bought and sold as contracts approach expiry is called "Rolling". Depending on the prices in the futures market, there may be gains and losses associated with this rolling process, known as "roll returns." o The DB Commodity Harvest - 10 Index USD Total Return is a "Total Return" Index. A Total Return Index has three sources of return: - Movements in Spot Prices: while it is true in general that a Total Return commodity index would have exposure to movements in commodity prices, since the DB Commodity Harvest - 10 Index USD Total return is a long-short index, it is not affected by movements in spot prices. The gain on the long leg due to movements in spot prices is offset by the loss on the short leg and vice versa. - Roll Returns, and - Collateral Return: 3-month T-bill return earned on notional tied to the index 10

DB Commodity Harvest - 10 Index USD Total Return (TR) Index Summary Key Features o Market Neutral Strategy: The DB Commodity Harvest Index goes short the S&P-GSCI Light Energy Index and long the DB Commodity Booster - Benchmark Light Energy Index, an Optimum Yield version of the S&P - GSCI Light Energy Index, in an attempt to provide market-neutral exposure, and to generate returns from DB's optimum yield technology. o Optimizing Roll Returns: Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY") technology rolls an expiring contract into the contract that maximizes positive roll yield (in a backwardated market) or minimizes negative roll yield (in a contango market) from the list of tradable futures which expire in the next 13 months. o Target Volatility: The DB Commodity Harvest TV 10 Index varies its participation in the DB Commodity Harvest Index with a view to target a volatility of 10%. o Transparency: The DB Commodity Harvest TV 10 is a rule based index with the closing level and weights published daily on Bloomberg (DBCMHVEE) and DBIQ. 11

Appendix

Types of Returns in a Commodity Index Total Return vs. Excess Return Stock and Bond returns come from two sources: o Underlying price movement o Dividends (Stocks) or Coupons (Bonds) Commodity returns come from three sources: o Collateral Yield |X> Interest earned on capital held as collateral o Spot Return |X> Change in front month futures contract o Roll Return |X> Process of buying a futures contract at a premium (negative roll) or discount (positive roll) to the spot price Excess Return = Spot Return + Roll Return Total Return = Excess Return + Collateral Yield Collateral yield of 3-Month US Treasury Bills is added to the DB Commodity Harvest TV10 excess return version to create the DB Commodity Harvest TV10 total return version 17

Optimized Yield Contract Selection to Create an "Optimal Yield" Contract selection and roll return can have a significant impact in the overall return of the index o Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY") technology rolls into the contract that maximizes positive roll yield (in a backwardated market) or minimizes negative roll yield (in a contango market) from the list of tradable futures which expire in the next 13 months Greater Roll Yield Less Negative Price Roll Yield Futures Greater Negative Roll Yield Futures Price Less Roll Yield Contract Expiry Date o Longer dated contracts typically have less negative carry when the curve slopes upward (contango) Contract Expiry Date o Shorter dated contracts typically offer greater positive carry when the curve slopes downward (backwardation) 18

Important Considerations The information contained in this presentation does not provide personal investment advice. You should consult with independent accounting, tax, legal and regulatory counsel regarding such matters as they may apply to your particular circumstances. Strategy Risk The DB Commodity Harvest Indices adopt a market neutral strategy by taking a long position in a specified booster index and a short position in a specified benchmark index. However, this market neutral strategy may not be successful, and each index may not be able to achieve its desired objective. The Optimal Roll Yield strategy described herein aims to maximize the potential roll benefits in backwardated markets and minimize potential roll losses in contango markets by purchasing the relevant new futures contracts that would generate the maximum implied roll yield. However, indices employing the Optimal Roll Yield strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective. The Target Volatility strategy described herein aims to achieve a specified realized volatility in the base index by adjusting the level of participation based on the historical realized volatility of the base index. However, indices employing the Target Volatility strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective. Commodities are speculative and highly volatile and the risk of loss from investing in financial instruments linked to commodities or commodity indices can be substantial. Past Performance An index's performance is unpredictable, and past performance is not indicative of future performance. We give no representation or warranty as to the future performance of any index or investment. Some of the indices described herein have very limited performance history. 24

Important Considerations Backtesting Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results discussed herein have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual historical performances, 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 deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis contained herein.
