PowerShares DB US Treasury Exchange Traded Notes

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

Description
The PowerShares DB 3x Long 25+ Year Treasury Bond Exchange Traded Notes
(Symbol: LBND) and PowerShares DB 3x Short 25+ Year Treasury Bond Exchange
Traded Notes (Symbol: SBND) (collectively, the "PowerShares DB U.S. Treasury
ETNs," or the "ETNs") are the first exchange-traded products that provide
investors with a cost effective and convenient way to take a leveraged long or
leveraged short view on the performance of the CBOT Ultra T-Bond futures.

The DB Long U.S. Treasury Bond Futures Index measures the performance of a long
investment in the CBOT Ultra T-Bond futures and the DB Short U.S. Treasury Bond
Futures Index measures the performance of a short investment in the CBOT Ultra
T-Bond futures. The underlying assets of the Ultra T-Bond futures are U.S.
Treasury Bonds with at least 25 years remaining term to maturity. The returns
of each ETN are obtained by combining 3x the returns of the relevant index with
the returns of the TBill index, less investor fees. Investors can buy and sell
the ETNs 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. The issuer has the right to redeem the ETNs at the repurchase
value at any time.

Investors may redeem the ETNs in blocks of no less than 200,000 securities and
multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter, subject to the procedures described
in the pricing supplement. Redemptions may include a fee of up to $0.03 per
security.

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch Long-term Unsecured Obligations(2)

Index history does not refl ect 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 ETN performance, go to
dbfunds.db.com/notes.

(2)The ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London
Branch, and the amount due on the ETNs is dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London
Branch's ability to pay. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection.

The ETNs are 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.

The ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca through any brokerage
account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of ETNs that you may
redeem directly with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as specified in the
applicable pricing supplement. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply, and there
are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of the ETNs.
Sales in the secondary market may result in losses.

As described in the pricing supplement, Deutsche Bank may redeem the ETNs for
an amount in cash equal to the repurchase value.

The ETNs provide concentrated exposure to U.S. Treasury bond futures contracts.
The market value of the ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors,
including, among other things, changes in supply and demand relationships,
changes in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions.

Not FDIC Insured -- No Bank Guarantee -- May Lose Value

(3)Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Invesco PowerShares and their affi liates
do not provide tax advice, and nothing contained herein should be construed to
be tax advice. Please be advised that any discussion of U.S. tax matters
contained herein (including attachments) (i) is not intended or written to be
used, and cannot be used, by you for the purpose of avoiding U.S. tax-related
penalties and (ii) was written to support the promotion or marketing of the
transactions or matters addressed herein. Accordingly, you should seek advice
based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax adviser.


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 fi led 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
powersharesetns.com | dbfunds. db.com/notes or EDGAR on the SEC website at
www.sec.gov. Alternatively, you may request a prospectus by calling 800 983
0903 | 877 369 4617, or you may request a copy from any dealer participating in
this offering.

The ETNs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by
sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and the consequences of
seeking monthly leveraged investment results, and who intend to actively
monitor and manage their investments. In particular, the ETNs are not designed
to be long-term investments and may not be suitable for investors seeking an
investment with a term greater than the time remaining to the next monthly
reset date. Investing in the ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in
the index or index components because the current principal amount 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
ETNs. 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. Signifi cant adverse monthly performances for your ETNs may not be
offset by any benefi cial monthly performances.
