The PowerShares DB Crude Oil Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: OLO),
PowerShares DB Crude Oil Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: SZO) and
PowerShares DB Crude Oil Double Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DTO)
(collectively, the "PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs") are the first United States
exchange traded products that provide investors with a cost-effective and
convenient way to take a long, short or leveraged view on the performance of an
oil-based commodity index

All of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are based on a total return version of
the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Oil (the "Index") which is designed to
reflect the performance of certain crude oil futures contracts plus the returns
from investing in 3 month United States Treasury bills. The Long ETN is based
on the Optimum Yield[] version of the Index and the Short and Double Short ETNs
are based on the standard version of the Index. The Optimum Yield[] version of
the index attempts to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize
the positive effects of backwardation by applying flexible roll rules to pick a
new futures contract when a contract expires. The standard version of the
index, which does not attempt to minimize the negative effects of contango and
maximize the positive effects of backwardation, uses static roll rules that
dictate that an expiring futures contract must be replaced with a contract
having a pre-defined expiration date.

Investors can buy and sell PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs at market price on the
NYSE Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or early
redemption based on the performance of the index less investor fees. Investors
may redeem PowerShares DB ETNs in blocks of no less than 200,000 securities and
integral multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter subject to the procedures
described in the pricing supplement which include a fee of up to $0.03 per
security.

Liquid Commodity Index-Oil is Jan. 12, 2004. The inception date of the Index's
Optimum Yield version is May 24, 2006. Index history is based on a combination
of the monthly returns from the relevant Commodity Index (as defined below)
plus the monthly returns from the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"),
resetting monthly as per the formula applied to the PowerShares DB Crude Oil
ETNs, less the investor fee. Index history for the Long ETN is based on the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Crude Oil[], and index
history for the Short and Double Short ETNs is based on the standard version of
the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Light Crude[] (the "Commodity
Indexes"). The Commodity Indexes are intended to reflect changes in the market
value of certain crude oil futures contracts. The T-Bill Index is intended to
approximate returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a
rolling basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are
unmanaged, and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES
NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. For current index and PowerShares DB Crude Oil
ETN performance, go to dbfunds.db.com/notes.

(2)The S and P 500([R]) Index is an unmanaged index used as a measurement of change
in stock market conditions based on the performance of a specified group 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.

(3)Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Invesco PowerShares and their affiliates do
not provide tax advice, and nothing contained herein should be construed to be

An investment in the PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 Crude Oil ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche
Bank AG, London Branch that are linked to the Index. The PowerShares DB Crude
Oil ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no
principal protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs
include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade
price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the
PowerShares DB Crude Oil 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 Crude Oil ETNs
even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at any time the
redemption value of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs is zero, your investment
will expire worthless. Deutsche Bank may accelerate the PowerShares DB Crude
Oil 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
Crude Oil ETNs. Sales in the secondary market may result in losses. An
investment in the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs may not be suitable for all
investors.

The PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs are concentrated in crude oil commodity
futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Crude Oil ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile oil prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in
interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The DB Crude Oil
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 DB Crude Oil Double Short ETN is a leveraged investment. As such, it is
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 Crude Oil 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 monthly performances for your securities may not be offset
by any beneficial monthly performances.
