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 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 3

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) DB Commodity Indices Mean Reversion Momentum Optimized Yield Target Volatility DB Commodity Booster -- DJUBS [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Booster DJUBS -- TV14 [] [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Booster -- Benchmark [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DBLCI-MR [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DBLCI-MR+ [] [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DBLCI -- Mean Reversion Enhanced [] [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB MR Enhanced 15 [] [] [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Harvest [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Harvest -- 10 [] [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Allocator [] [] [] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 4

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.

Appendix Appendix 1 Deutsche Bank

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 41 Deutsche Bank

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 Historical Commodity Allocation of the DBLCI -MR since 2006 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] DBLCI -MR Outperformance to DBLCI Outperformance Year (%) 2005 --10.93 2006 36.15 2007 7.82 2008 4.17 2009 12.12 YTD 2010 0.29 [] 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 31 August 2010.

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 50 Deutsche Bank

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. Alternatively, Deutsche Bank AG, any agent or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you so request by calling toll-free 1-800-311-4409 51 Deutsche Bank
