X-Alpha USD Total Return Index Global Markets Equity Performance Report - Jun. 30, 2010 Index Description The X-Alpha Total Return Index is a quarterly rebalanced, weighted combination of 8 Index Pairs. The Index consists of going 100% long a DB Regional Style Index and 100% short an equity market benchmark index. There are two Index Pairs per region -- one Growth Index Pair and one Value Index Pair for the US, Europe, UK and Japan. Each of the 8 Index Pairs is weighted according to a target volatility of 8% and a regional weight. The overall X-Alpha Index has a target volatility of 8%. The Index has an additional return component derived from the Fed Funds rate. The Index has been retrospectively calculated back to 10/22/96 and went live on 10/2/06. The Index is denominated in US$ and is quoted on Bloomberg under the ticker "DBGLXAT." The regional weightings are summarized below: Weight Weight US Value Index Pair 25% Euro Value Index Pair 15% US Growth Index Pair 25% Euro Growth Index Pair 15% UK Value Index Pair 5% Japan Value Index Pair 5% UK Growth Index Pair 5% Japan Growth Index Pair 5% Retrospectively Calculated Annual Returns Through 6/30/10* [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Retrospectively Calculated Returns 10/22/96 - 6/30/10* [GRAPHIC OMITTED] X-Alpha Vol. Targeted Regional Allocations as of 6/30/10* [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Volatility targeted regional weights are calculated by multiplying the exposure to an index pair by its respective regional weight.

X-Alpha USD Total Return Index Global Markets Equity Summary of Results X-Alpha USD TR returned 0.8% during June 2010, outperforming market neutral hedge funds by 1.6% (HFRX MN Index was down 0.8% for the month). Over the past 5 years, the annualized return of X-Alpha USD TR has been 4.6% vs. 0.5% for market neutral hedge funds. For the year 2010, X-Alpha USD TR has returned 2.7% vs. market neutral hedge funds return of 1.9% Of the eight Index Constituent Pairs that comprise X-Alpha, six returned positive alpha for the month. Positive alpha returns were generated by US Growth Alpha (0.7%), US Value Alpha (1.2%), UK Growth Alpha (6.8%), UK Value Alpha (2.4%), Japan Value Alpha (3.2%) and Japan Growth Alpha (0.5%) . Negative alpha returns were from Euro Growth Alpha (-1.6%) and Euro Value Alpha (-1.5%) . Due to decrease in volatility in the last few months, exposures of all of the Alpha Indices, is on the higher side, so that the performance impact of positive alpha returns on the X-Alpha Index is increased. The volatility targeting mechanism has lead to an increase in the exposures as volatility is on the decline. In spite of the higher levels of equity market volatility over the past 12 months, X-Alpha USD TR trailing 12 month volatility stands at 5.1%, below its 8% target volatility.

	Glossary: Alpha: The excess return between two assets, typically a long asset (portfolio) and short asset (market benchmark) Annualized Return: Annualized Returns are a measure of how an index would have performed on an annual basis over a period of time greater than one year. They are calculated by comparing the ending index value to the initial index value and then raising that quotient to the power of (365/The number of days between ending date and beginning date) and then subtracting one. Benchmarks: There are numerous Benchmark Indices referred to in this report. They represent typical asset classes such as Equity, Fixed Income and Hedge Funds and are used for performance comparisons that would normally be made by investors. Correlation: A measure of how one index behaves relative to another index. Correlation is calculated as the standard deviation of daily percent changes in each index over a period of time, which is then annualized by multiplying by the square root of 252 (the number of trading days in a year). DB Regional Style Indices: There is a DB Regional Style Index for each of the four geographical regions and within each region, a DB Regional Value Index and a DB Regional Growth Index. Distribution of Monthly Returns: Is a measure of the number of times over a time period that the monthly returns of an index fell within certain ranges. It is used to provide a breakdown of typical historical monthly returns. Exposure: Is a weighting within the X-Alpha Index that is based on the Volatility Target compared to the most recent 100 day Volatility of each Index Pair or X-Alpha Index. The Exposure can be between 50% and 150% and is calculated every three months. Index Pair: An X-Alpha Index Pair is a long/short equity position where 100% is invested long in a DB Regional Style Index (growth and value) and 100% short in the corresponding Regional Large Cap Equity Benchmark Index. It is a measure of the excess return (positive or negative) between the DB Regional Style Index and the Equity Benchmark Index. The performance of each Index Pair is referred to as its Regional Alpha. Sharpe Ratio: A measure of risk-adjusted return over a period of time, the Sharpe Ratio is calculated as the quotient of Return and Volatility both of which are typically annualized over the period. Volatility Targeting: Is a means by which the exposure to an Index Pair or the X-Alpha Index itself is determined. It attempts to control the expected volatility of each Index Pair and the X-Alpha Index to keep it at or around 8%.

	Risk Factors: LIMITED HISTORY OF THE X-ALPHA INDICES — Publication of each X-Alpha Indices began on October 3, 2006. Therefore, the X-Alpha Indices have very limited performance history, and no actual investments which allowed a tracking of the performance of the X-Alpha Indices were available before that date. In addition, effective July 17, 2007, the methodology for the calculation of the X-Alpha Indices was changed by the Index Sponsor. For this reason, the actual performance history of the X-Alpha Indices for the dates between October 3, 2006 and July 17, 2007 does not reflect the methodology currently in use for the calculation of the X-Alpha Indices. AN INVESTMENT LINKED OR RELATED TO AN X-ALPHA INDEX WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE SAME AS AN INVESTMENT IN ANY DB REGIONAL STYLE INDEX, THE BENCHMARK INDEX WITH WHICH IT IS PAIRED OR IN ANY OF THEIR UNDERLYING COMPONENTS — The X-Alpha Index closing level on any trading day will depend on the performance, in relation to each pair of Index Constituents which consists of a DB Regional Style Index and a Benchmark Index (each, an “Index Constituent P air”), of each DB Regional Style Index compared to the Benchmark Index with which it is paired. If the overall performance of the DB Regional Style Indices compared to the Benchmark Indices, when measured by reference to each Index Constituent Pair, is positive, the X-Alpha Index closing level will rise. Conversely, if the overall performance of the DB Regional Style Indices compared to the Benchmark Indices, when measured by reference to each Index Constituent Pair, is negative, the X-Alpha Index closing level will fall. Therefore, whether or not the X-Alpha Index closing level rises or falls depends not only on whether or not the levels of any of the DB Regional Style Indices and/or the Benchmark Indices rise or fall but rather on the overall comparative performance of the DB Regional Style Indices to the relevant Benchmark Indices when measured by reference to each Index Constituent Pair. You should, therefore, carefully consider the composition and calculation of each DB Regional Style Index and ea ch Benchmark Index which together form each Index Constituent Pair. THE VALUE OF EACH X-ALPHA INDEX IS BASED UPON THE RETURN OF EACH INDEX CONSTITUENT PAIR. IF THE RETURN OF A DB REGIONAL STYLE INDEX IS POSITIVE BUT IS LESS THAN THE RETURN OF A BENCHMARK INDEX WITH WHICH IT IS PAIRED, THE OVERALL RETURN OF THE RELEVANT INDEX CONSTITUENT PAIR WILL BE NEGATIVE — The value of the X-Alpha Index is based upon the performance of each DB Regional Style Index relative to that of the Benchmark Index with which it is paired. Even if a DB Regional Style Index achieves a positive return, the Index Constituent Pair of which it is a member could achieve a negative return if the Benchmark Index included in such Index Constituent Pai r achieves a greater positive return. THE INDEX CONSTITUENT PAIRS ARE NOT EQUALLY WEIGHTED IN THE X-ALPHA MODEL — The Index Constituent Pairs are assigned different geographical weightings in the X-Alpha Model as described in “The Deutsche Bank X-Alpha USD Excess Return® Index — Index Constituent Pairs” in Underlying Supplement No. 14A filed by Deutsche Bank AG with the SEC on February 28, 2008. One consequence of the unequal weighting of the Index Constituent Pairs is that the same return generated by two Index Constituent Pairs, whether positive or negative, may have a different effect on the performance of the Index. RETURNS GENERATED BY THE INDEX CONSTITUENT PAIRS MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER — At a time when some of the Index Constituent Pairs generate positive returns, other Index Constituent Pairs may generate positive returns that are smaller or they may generate returns that are negative. As a result, positive returns generated by one or more Index Constituent Pairs may be moderated or more than offset by smaller positive returns or negative returns generated by the other Index Constituent Pairs, particularly if the Index Constituent Pairs that generate positive r eturns are assigned relatively low weightings in the X-Alpha Model. THE RETURNS OF THE INDEX CONSTITUENT PAIRS WILL BE EXPOSED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN EXCHANGE RATES — For the purposes of determining the returns of the Index Constituent Pairs, the currency in which any DB Regional Style Index or Benchmark Index is expressed (if such currency is not U.S. dollars) will be converted into U.S. dollars at the relevant spot exchange rate on each trading day. As a result, any positive or negative return that is generated as a result of the performance of a DB Regional Style Index compared to that of a Benchmark Index with which it is paired is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currency in which such DB Regional Style Index and such Benchmark Index are publicly quoted. In addition, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of such indices would have the effect of reducing the impact of positive excess returns from the relevant Index Constituent Pairs. THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCED VOLATILITY OF EACH INDEX CONSTITUENT PAIR AND THE X-ALPHA MODEL MAY NOT EQUAL TARGET VOLATILITY, WHICH MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX — As described in “The Deutsche Bank X-Alpha USD Excess Return® Index — Calculation and Reconstitution of the Index” in Underlying Supplement No. 14A filed by Deutsche Bank AG with the SEC on February 28, 2008, the weighting of each Index Constituent Pair in the X-Alpha Model is adjusted to target a volatility level of 8%. Because this adjustment is based on recently experienced volatility and is subject to a minimum of 50% and a maximum of 150%, the actual volatility realized on the Index Constituent Pairs and the X-Alpha Model will not necessarily equal the volatility target. If returns on the Index Constituent Pairs or the X-Alpha Model coincide with volatility higher than the target, the Index would be exposed less to such returns than if the volatility targeting had not been done. If returns on Index Constituent Pairs or the X-Alpha Model coincide with volatility lower than the target, the Index would be exposed more to such returns than if the volatility targeting had not been done. Such adjustments may have a negative impact on the performance of the Index. THE CALCULATION OF THE INDEX CLOSING LEVEL WILL INCLUDE A DEDUCTION OF A BORROW FEE — On each trading day, the calculation of the Index closing level will include a deduction of a Borrow Fee to defray transaction costs incurred in relation to the Index on such day, as described in “The Deutsche Bank X-Alpha USD Excess Return® Index — Index Costs” in Underlying Supplement No. 14A filed by Deutsche Bank AG with the SEC on February 28, 2008. WE ARE ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE DOW JONES EURO STOXX 50 TOTAL RETURN INDEX™, AND OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE INCLUDED IN TWO OF THE DB REGIONAL STYLE INDICES, BUT WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OTHER COMPANY INCLUDED IN THE DOW JONES EURO STOXX 50 TOTAL RETURN INDEX™, ANY OTHER BENCHMARK INDEX OR ANY DB REGIONAL STYLE INDEX — We are one of the companies that make up the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Total Return Index™, and our common stock may be included in two of the DB Regional Style Indices, but we are not affiliated with an y of the other companies whose stocks are included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50 Total Return Index™, any of the other Benchmark Indices or any of the DB Regional Style Indices. As a result, we will have no ability to control the actions of such other companies, including actions that could affect the value of the stocks underlying any of the Benchmark Indices, the DB Regional Style Indices or the securities or options linked to the X-Alpha Indices. None of the money you pay us will go to the respective sponsors of the Benchmark Indices (the “Benchmark Index Sponsors”) or to any of the other companies included in the Benchmark Indices or the DB Regional Style Indices, and none of those companies will be involved in the offering of the securities or options linked to an X-Alpha Index in any way. Neither those companies nor the Benchmark Index Sponsors will have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of securities or options linked to an X-Alpha Index in taking any corporate a ctions that might affect the value of such securities or options.

	Risk Factors: DEUTSCHE BANK AG, LONDON BRANCH, AS THE SPONSOR OF EACH DB REGIONAL STYLE INDEX, AND EACH BENCHMARK INDEX SPONSOR MAY ADJUST THE RELEVANT INDEX IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS ITS LEVEL — Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as the sponsor of each DB Regional Style Index (the “DB Regional Style Index Sponsor”) and each Benchmark Index Sponsor are responsible for calculating and maintaining the DB Regional Style Indices and the Benchmark Indices, respectively. The DB Regional Style Index Sponsor and any Benchmark Index Sponsor can add, delete or substit ute a component stock of a DB Regional Style Index or a Benchmark Index, as the case may be, or make methodological changes that could affect the level of the relevant index. You should realize that any changes in the DB Regional Style Index components or the Benchmark Index components may affect the relevant DB Regional Style Index or Benchmark Index, as the case may be, and may therefore affect the X-Alpha Index, as any newly added component stock may perform significantly better or worse than the component stock it replaces. Additionally, the DB Regional Style Index Sponsor and any Benchmark Index Sponsor may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the relevant index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of your securities or options linked to an X-Alpha Index. The DB Regional Style Index Sponsor and the Benchmark Index Sponsors have no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the relevant indices. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST EXIST BECAUSE THE ISSUER OF SECURITIES LINKED TO AN X-ALPHA INDEX, THE CALCULATION AGENT FOR THE SECURITIES LINKED TO AN X-ALPHA INDEX, THE X-ALPHA INDEX SPONSOR AND THE DB REGIONAL STYLE INDEX SPONSOR ARE THE SAME LEGAL ENTITY — Deutsche Bank AG is the Issuer of securities linked to the X-Alpha indices, the calculation agent for securities linked to the X-Alpha indices, the X-Alpha Index Sponsor and the DB Regional Style Index Sponsor. As the X-Alpha Index Sponsor and the DB Regional Style Index Sponsor, Deutsche Bank AG carries out calculations necessary to promulgate each X-Alpha Index and each of the DB Regional Sty le Indices and maintains some discretion as to how such calculations are made. In particular, the X-Alpha Index Sponsor and the DB Regional Style Index Sponsor have discretion in selecting among methods for calculating each X-Alpha Index and each of the DB Regional Style Indices, respectively, in the event that the regular means of determining the values of the components of each X-Alpha Index or any of the DB Regional Style Indices, as the case may be, are unavailable at the time such determinations are scheduled to take place. The X-Alpha Index Sponsor also has discretion to make changes in the reconstitution periods for each X-Alpha Index, and the DB Regional Style Index Sponsor has discretion under certain circumstances in selecting the component stocks of each DB Regional Style Index. There can be no assurance that any determinations made by Deutsche Bank AG in these various capacities will not affect the levels of each X-Alpha Index or any DB Regional Style Indices or the value of securities or options linked to an X-Alpha Index. Because determinations made by Deutsche Bank AG in these roles may affect the payments made on options and securities linked to the X-Alpha Indices, potential conflicts of interest may exist between Deutsche Bank AG and you.
