Executive Summary

The Evolution of Commodity Markets

[]   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

[]   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

[]   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

[]   As the commodity market has evolved, Deutsche Bank has created new indices
     that may benefit from the special features of the asset class

 

 
 



DB Commodity -- Family of Indices

Introduction

[]   The Deutsche Bank suite of Commodity indices seeks to enhance returns by
     altering traditional commodity index construction rules related to:
     Relative value asset allocation (Mean Reversion); Market momentum filter
     (Momentum); Futures Rolling Methodology (Optimized Yield); Controlled Risk
     (Target Volatility)

Index Summary

[]   Components: Tracks the performance of a basket of 6 commodity futures:
     Aluminum, WTI Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Gold, Corn, and Wheat

[]   Dynamic Weights: Seeks to underweight relatively expensive commodities and
     overweight relatively cheap commodities among six of the most liquid
     futures contracts in four sectors: Energy, Base Metals, Precious Metals,
     Agriculture. The commodity weight is determined formulaically based on the
     ratio between a one-year and five-year moving average price

[]   Rebalancing: A rebalancing will occur whenever one of the commodities
     undergoes a "trigger event." A trigger event occurs when the one-year
     moving average price of the commodity trades +/-- 5% than the five-year
     moving average

[]   Roll Frequency and Method: Fixed monthly roll for Energy components, fixed
     yearly roll for Metals and Agriculture components

[]   Transparency: Rule-based index with the closing level and weights published
     daily on Bloomberg (DBLCMMCL)

     Silver, Corn, Wheat and Soybeans

[]   Dynamic Weights and Diversification: Seeks to underweight relatively
     expensive commodities and overweight relatively cheap commodities among
     twelve of the most liquid futures contracts in four sectors: Energy, Base
     Metals, Precious Metals, Agriculture. Single commodity allocations are

     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

[]   Rebalancing: A rebalancing will occur if on the monthly rebalance date, the
     one-year moving average price of one or more commodities trade +/-- 5% than
     the five-year moving average

DBLCI MR+

Index Summary

[]   Components: Tracks the performance of 6 commodity futures: Aluminum, WTI
     Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Gold, Corn and Wheat

[]   Dynamic Weights: Seeks to underweight relatively expensive commodities and
     overweight relatively cheap commodities among six of the most liquid
     futures contracts in four sectors: Energy, Base Metals, Precious Metals,
     Agriculture

[]   Dynamic Allocation: The "Plus" strategy aims to preserve excess returns
     generated by the DBLCI-MR by adjusting its exposure monthly to reflect
     upward and downward momentum cycles. A sample set of returns for each
     period ranging between one and twelve months are calculated. The weight
     assigned to DBLCI-MR is based on the number of periods with positive
     returns

[]   Rebalancing: A rebalancing in the underlying index (DBLCI -MR) will occur
     whenever one of the commodities undergoes a "trigger event." A trigger
     event occurs when the one-year moving average price of the commodity trades
     +/-- 5% than the five-year moving average

[]   Roll Frequency and Method: Fixed monthly roll for Energy components, fixed
     yearly roll for Metals and Agriculture components

[]   Transparency: Rule-based index with the closing level, weights and exposure
     published daily on Bloomberg (DBLCMPUE)



 

 
 



Invests in 6 liquid commodity contracts. Over-weights cheap commodities and
under-weights expensive ones Aims to offer upside exposure to DBLCI -MR but
limit potential drawdowns by employing a momentum algorithm

DB Commodity Harvest

Index Summary

[]   Market Neutral Strategy: The DB Commodity Harvest Index goes short the
     SandP Goldman Sachs Light Energy Index and long the DB Commodity Booster --
     Benchmark Light Energy Index, an Optimum Yield version of the SandP Goldman
     Sachs Light Energy Index, in an attempt to provide market -neutral
     exposure, and to generate returns from DB's optimum yield technology

[]   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

[]   Transparency: Rule based index with the closing level and weights published
     daily on Bloomberg (DBCMHLEU)


 

 
 




Strategy aims to generate alpha from roll returns by going long the OY index and
short the benchmark index

DB Commodity Allocator Index

Section 4

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]


 

 
 



DB Commodity Allocator

Index Summary

[]   Components: Uses a rule based methodology to allocate between Beta (the DB
     MR Enhanced ERAC (1) Index) and Alpha (the DB Commodity Harvest USD ERAC
     Index), allowing investors access to a strategy that aims to be fully
     allocated to alpha during periods of commodities downturns

[]   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

[]   Dynamic Allocation: Aims to preserve excess returns generated by the DB MR
     Enhanced ERAC Index by adjusting exposure to underlying indices monthly to
     reflect upward and downward momentum cycles. A sample set of returns for
     each period ranging between one and twelve months are calculated. The
     weight assigned to DB MR Enhanced ERAC Index is based on the number of
     periods with positive returns. The remaining weight is leveraged 3 times
     and assigned to the DB Commodity Harvest ERAC Index

[]   Rebalancing: Each month, the index adjusts its exposure to each underlying
     index based on the momentum of the DB MR Enhanced ERAC Index. Also adjusts
     leverage by employing the target volatility mechanism

[]   Transparency: Rule-based index with the closing level and weights published
     daily on Bloomberg (DBLCABER)

Note:

1    ERAC: Excess Return After Cost


 

 
 



Strategy aims to generate alpha from roll returns and to smoothen the return
profile by adjusting exposure in response to changes in realized volatility

DB Commodity Allocator

Index Construction

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

-    BETA: (DBLCI -MR Enhanced ERAC Index) attempts to provide enhanced beta
     exposure to commodities using the mean reversion behaviour of commodities.
     It dynamically allocates exposure to 12 commodities across sectors and
     attempts to optimize roll returns.

-    ALPHA: (DB Commodity Harvest USD ERAC Index) attempts to generate alpha by
     using DB's optimum yield technology, while providing market -neutral
     exposure to commodities.

Types of Returns in a Commodity Index

Total Return vs. Excess Return

Stock and Bond returns come from two sources:

[]   Underlying price movement

[]   Dividends (Stocks) or Coupons (Bonds)

Commodity returns come from three sources:

[]   Collateral Yield

[]   Interest earned on capital held as collateral

[]   Spot Return

[]   Change in front month futures contract

[]   Roll Return

[]   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
 excess return version indices to create the DB Commodity total return version


 

 
 



Mean Reversion

[]   The mean reversion methodology overweights "cheap" commodities and
     underweights "expensive" commodities based on their respective 5y moving
     average price vs. 1y moving average price

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

Historical Commodity Allocation of the DBLCI -MR since 2006

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

[]   Heavy investment in Corn and Wheat as agricultural commodities are the most
     historically undervalued. Captures the 2006 Ags rally. Underweighting in
     Energy also contributed to good performance as energy prices declined
     significantly in 2006

[]   In 2008 the index increased its weight to Aluminum and reduced its weight
     to Energy, which was then at historical highs. In retrospect, while the
     under-weighting in Energy was a good decision, the overweight in Aluminum
     was not, as Aluminum prices declined significantly

[]   In 2009 the index was overweight in Aluminum and Oil and gained from
     rallies in both. However, it was underweight in Gold and missed out on the
     Gold rally

Source: Bloomberg Notes:

1    Past performance is not a guarantee of future results

2    The Mean Reversion strategy may not always result in outperformance to
     benchmark commodity indices. As a long-only commodity index, if all
     underlying commodity prices fall, the DBLCI -- Mean Reversion will also
     likely result in a negative performance

3    Data is as of 30 June 2010. DBLCI and DBLCI-MR are calculated
     retrospectively prior to their Index Live Dates

Momentum (MR+)

[]   DBLCI-MR Plus TM Excess Return is a dynamic allocation strategy based on
     the performance of the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return Index

[]   Mandatory rebalancing takes place on a monthly basis[] At each monthly
     rebalancing, the allocation in the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return strategy is
     determined based on the performance of the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return over
     the previous 12 months

[]   Twelve performance indicators are built, reflecting the performance of
     DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return over previous 12-months, 11-months, 10-months

[]   3-months, 2-months, 1-month[] The allocation or component weight to
     commodities is proportional to the number of times the DBCLI-MR TM Excess
     Return performance is greater than zero. The current allocation is 8.33%
     (see table)

[]   Rules based momentum strategy with no human intervention, only execution

[]   The allocation can be as low as 0% and as high as 100%

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

[]   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

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

[]   Longer dated contracts typically have less negative carry when the curve
     slopes upward (contango)

[]   Shorter dated contracts typically offer greater positive carry when the
     curve slopes downward (backwardation)

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

[]   The Mean Reversion strategy described herein aims to maximize returns by
     over-weighting relatively cheap commodities and under-weighting relatively
     expensive commodities. However, indices employing the Mean Reversion
     strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective

[]   The Allocator strategy described herein aims to maximize returns by
     combining the Mean Reversion and Optimal Roll Yield strategies described
     herein. However, there is no guarantee that an index
     employing the Allocator strategy, or any of the Mean Reversion and Optimal
     Roll Yield strategies, will 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


 

 
 



Important Considerations (Cont'd)

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

Backtesting

[]   Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results discussed herein
     have inherent limitations. Unlike 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

Free Writing Prospectus

[]   Deutsche Bank AG has filed a registration statement (including a
     prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for the
     offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should
     read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents that
     Deutsche Bank AG has filed with the SEC for more complete information about
     Deutsche Bank AG and any such offering. You may obtain these documents
     without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

     the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you so request by
