PowerShares DB Base Metals ETN performance. The inception date of the Deutsche
Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Industrial Metals[] is July 12,
2006. Index history is based on a combination of the monthly returns from the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Industrial Metals Excess

T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"), resetting monthly as per the formula applied
to the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs, less the investor fee. The Base Metals
Index is intended to reflect changes in the market value of certain futures
contracts on aluminum, copper and zinc. The T-Bill Index is intended to
approximate the returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills
on a rolling basis.

of common stocks. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index[] is an
unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. investment-grade,
fixed-rate bond market. Correlation indicates the degree to which two
investments have historically moved in the same direction and magnitude.
Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of monthly index returns.

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.

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 Base Metals 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
