5-Year Market Contribution Securities linked to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Alpha USD 5 Total Return® Index
	Investment Rationale & Positioning		Description & Return Profile
nAlpha investment strategy, which aims to generate returns without regard to the direction of a pre-selected benchmark asset. nThe securities deliver returns based on a weighted combination of four alpha indices from four different asset classes (equities, commodities, currencies and rates) and cash. nThe alpha indices and cash are combined in a quantitative portfolio allocation model which seeks a risk targeted, optimal exposure to each asset.		The securities linked to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Alpha USD 5 Total Return® Index (the “Index”) offer clients: nA vehicle intended to generate globally-diversified, multi-asset class, uncorrelated absolute returns in a market-independent, non-directional and low volatility framework. nFull Participation in the upside and downside performance of the Index, reduced by an Adjustment Factor of 1.75% each year the securities remain outstanding (applied at maturity or upon any early redemption). During the first year of the securities, 1.00% is applied as an up-front cost on the trade date and 0.75% is applied throughout the year. During each subsequent year, the 1.75% Adjustment Factor is applied evenly throughout the year. nBest-Case Scenario: Participation in any positive return of the Index, net of the Adjustment Factor. The redemption amount of the securities is uncapped if the Index increases in value. nWorst-Case Scenario: Full downside risk; if the Index falls below its initial closing level, investors will participate one-for-one on the downside, with returns further diminished by the Adjustment Factor.

Considerations Retrospective and Historical Performance of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Alpha USD 5 Total Return® Index

  nThe Deutsche Bank Liquid Alpha USD 5 Total Return® Index became an investable index in April, 2008. Annualized returns from January 1999 through April 2008 were retrospectively calculated. Hypothetical and past performance is not indicative of future results. nIndex pricing is available daily on Bloomberg (DBLAUT5J Index <GO>) nAnnual Adjustment Factor of 1.75%, applied as described above.  The securities will initially be distributed through DBSI, its affiliates and/or certain other brokers, who will receive an up-front commission or fee equal to 1.00% of the face amount of securities and may receive a portion of the Adjustment Factor as a commission on a quarterly basis. A fee of 0.50%-0.75% will be applied to purchases, if any, made by DBSI in the secondary market. The agents for this offering are affiliates of ours. For more information, see “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying Term Sheet No. 965. nTax Treatment: We believe it is reasonable to treat the securities as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment is respected, gain or loss recognized upon a sale, exchange or retirement (including an early redemption) generally should be treated as capital gain or loss.  You should review carefully the section of the accompanying Term Sheet No. 965 entitled "U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences." Deutsche Bank does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice.  

Underlying

nThe Index reflects the total return performance of a weighted combination of four proprietary alpha indices from four different asset classes and cash.

nEquities: (S&P X-Alpha USD Total Return Strategy Index) seeks to generate alpha results by taking long positions in a series of Deutsche Bank proprietary regional indices and short positions in their respective equity benchmarks.

nCommodities: (DB Commodity Harvest USD Total Return Index) takes a long position in an optimal yield commodity index and a short position in a commodity benchmark index.

nCurrencies: (DB Balanced Currency Harvest (USD-Funded) Index) takes long positions in high interest rate currencies and short positions in low interest rate currencies.

nRates: (DB Smart USD Index) seeks to capture returns generated by changes in the difference between short-term and long-term interest rates and reflected in the slope of the USD yield curve. The DB Smart USD Index is 5 times leveraged.

nCash: (DB Fed Funds Total Return Index) reflects the overnight Fed Funds rate.

Risks Risks (continued)

nThe securities are not principal protected, and therefore investors may lose part or all of their initial investment. nThe inclusion of an Adjustment Factor reduces the payment at maturity or upon early redemption. In addition, a portion of the first year’s Adjustment Factor is applied immediately on the trade date, which reduces the value of the securities during the first year of the term of the securities. nThe Index has limited performance history and the correlation among the index constituents could change unpredictably. Publication of the Index began in April, 2008 and historical or retrospectively calculated performance of the Index should not be relied on to predict future performance. nThe issuer may redeem the securities prior to maturity. Upon early redemption, the amount payable to investors may be significantly less than the original investment amount. nAn investment in the securities is subject to the credit of the Issuer. nSignificant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court might not agree with the treatment described in the accompanying Term Sheet No. 965. nThe payout on the securities is tied to the performance of the Index on a specific valuation date or dates.  Therefore, a temporary decline in the Index level around the date of maturity or early redemption could greatly affect the investor’s return. nA liquid secondary market for the securities is not guaranteed and may be limited. The Issuer may, but is not obligated to, purchase securities in the open market by tender or private agreement. nPotential conflicts of interest exist because the Issuer, the calculation agent for the securities and the sponsor of the Index and some of its components are the same legal entity. nFor further risk considerations, please refer to the accompanying Term Sheet No. 965, Underlying Supplement No. 4, Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus including the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the accompanying term sheet.
