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

                                                                               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) and Risk Parity

Index Summary

[]   Components: Tracks the performance of a basket of 6 commodity futures:
     Aluminum, WTI Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Gold, Corn, and Wheat

[]   Dynamic Weights: Seeks to underweight relatively expensive commodities and
     overweight relatively cheap commodities among six of the most liquid
     futures contracts in four sectors: Energy, Base Metals, Precious Metals,
     Agriculture. The commodity weight is determined formulaically based on the
     ratio between a one-year and five-year moving average price

[]   Rebalancing: A rebalancing will occur whenever one of the commodities
     undergoes a "trigger event." A trigger event occurs when the one-year
     moving average price of the commodity trades +/-- 5% than the five-year
     moving average

[]   Roll Frequency and Method: Fixed monthly roll for Energy components, fixed
     yearly roll for Metals and Agriculture components

     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

[]   Rebalancing: A rebalancing will occur if on the monthly rebalance date, the
     one-year moving average price of one or more commodities trade +/-- 5% than
     the five-year moving average

Index Summary

[]   Components: Tracks the performance of 12 commodity futures: Aluminum,
     Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Lead, WTI Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gold, Silver, Corn,
     Wheat and Soybeans

[]   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 Weights and Diversification: Seeks to underweight relatively
     expensive commodities and overweight relatively cheap commodities among
     twelve of the most liquid futures contracts in four sectors: Energy, Base
     Metals, Precious Metals, Agriculture. Single commodity allocations are
     subject to a 35% cap 1 in order to avoid concentration problem and ensure
     adequate diversification

[]   Target Volatility: Exposure to the DBLCI Mean Reversion Enhanced is reset
     monthly in order to target a realized volatility of 15%. Exposure is capped
     at 300%.

[]   Rebalancing: A rebalancing will occur if on the monthly rebalance date, the
     one-year moving average price of one or more commodities trade +/-- 5% than
     the five-year moving average

[]   Transparency: The DB MR Enhanced 15 is a rule-based index with the closing
     level and weights published daily on Bloomberg (DBLCMTEU)

DBLCI MR+

Index Summary

[] Components: Tracks the performance of 6 commodity futures: Aluminum, WTI
Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Gold, Corn and Wheat[] Dynamic Weights: Seeks to
underweight relatively expensive commodities and overweight relatively cheap
commodities among six of the most liquid futures contracts in four sectors:
Energy, Base Metals, Precious Metals, Agriculture [] Dynamic Allocation: The
"Plus" strategy aims to preserve excess returns generated by the DBLCI-MR   by
adjusting its exposure 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 DBLCI-MR   is based on the number of
periods with positive returns[] Rebalancing: A rebalancing in the underlying
index (DBLCI-MR)   will occur whenever one of the commodities undergoes a
"trigger event. " A trigger event occurs when the one-year  moving average
price of the commodity trades +/-- 5% than the five-year  moving average[] Roll
Frequency and Method: Fixed monthly roll for Energy components, fixed yearly
roll for Metals and Agriculture  components[] Transparency: Rule-based  index
with the closing level, weights and exposure published daily on Bloomberg
(DBLCMPUE)

[] Market Neutral Strategy: The DB Commodity Harvest ERAC Index goes short the
S and P Goldman Sachs Light Energy Index and long the DB Commodity Booster --
Benchmark Light Energy Index, an Optimum Yield version of the S and P Goldman Sachs
Light Energy Index, in an attempt to provide market -neutral exposure, and to
generate returns from DB's optimum yield technology.

[] Optimizing Roll Returns: Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY")

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

[] Embedded Cost: 0.60% per annum

DBLCI Commodity Momentum

Index Summary

[] Summary: The strategy goes long a basket of commodities at certain times,
short a basket of commodities at certain other times, and provides no exposure
the remaining times.  Decision to go long or short or stay neutral is based on
observing momentum across 14 commodities.

[] Components: Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Heating Oil, RBOB Gasoline, Corn, Wheat,
Soybeans, Sugar, Aluminum, Copper, Nickel, Zinc, Gold and Silver[] Bullish /
Bearish Indicator: For a particular commodity, 15 day moving average greater
than the 60 day moving average indicates a bullish signal and a bearish signal
otherwise.

[] Environment Indicator (EI): If nine or more commodities have a bullish
signal, this implies an EI of 1.  If nine or more commodities commodities have
a bearish signal, then EI is -1.
Otherwise it is zero.

[] Rebalancing: Each month, if the 45 day moving average of EI is greater than
50%, the strategy goes long an equally weighted basket of bullish signal
commodities for the next month.
    If it is less than -50%,  the strategy goes short an equally weighted
basket of bearish signal commodities for the next month. If it is between -50%
and 50%, the strategy provides no exposure for the following month[]

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.

DB Commodity Risk Parity 18
Index Summary

[]   Risk Parity: Provides exposure to 4 commodity sector indices such that risk
     contribution of each to the resulting portfolio is equal. Risk contribution
     is determined by using past 3 month realized volatilities and correlations.
     Volatility is targeted at 18% by leveraging the equal risk weighted
     portfolio; such leverage is capped at 300%.

[]   Components: The 4 sector indices used to construct the index are: DBLCI-OY
     Energy Index, DBLCI-OY Industrial Metal Index, DBLCI-OY Precious Metal
     Index and DBLCI-OY Agriculture Index.

[]   Rebalancing: Each month, sector exposures are adjusted with the aim of
     achieving equal risk contributions and a volatility of 18%.

[]   Optimizing Roll Returns: All 4 sector indices employ Deutsche Bank's
     proprietary optimum yield ("OY") technology, which 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 [] Transparency: Rule-based index with the closing level and weights
     published daily on Bloomberg (DBCMRPTV)

DB Commodity Apex 14
Index Summary

[]   Attempts to generate reliable returns independent of market cycle

[]   By combining 3 well-established, yet uncorrelated commodities strategies --
     mean reversion, momentum, and carry -- the Apex index aims to generate
     extremely stable returns from the commodities markets[] Components:
     Allocates exposure monthly between Mean Reversion (the DBLCI MR Enhanced
     Index), Carry (the DB Commodity Harvest Index), and Momentum (the DBLCI
     Commodity Momentum Index) in the inverse ratio of their 3 month
     volatilities. Exposure to each index is floored at 17.5% and capped at 65%.
     Exposure to the resulting basket is further scaled to target a volatility
     of 14%.

[]   DBLCI MR Enhanced: Seeks to underweight relatively expensive commodities
     and overweight relatively cheap commodities among twelve of the most liquid
     futures contracts in four sectors: Energy, Base Metals, Precious Metals,
     Agriculture. Single commodity allocations are subject to a 35% cap in order
     to avoid concentration and ensure adequate diversification[] DB Commodity
     Harvest: The DB Commodity Harvest Index goes short the SandP Goldman Sachs
     Light Energy Index and long the DB Commodity Booster -- Benchmark Light
     Energy Index, an Optimum Yield version of the SandP Goldman Sachs Light
     Energy Index, in an attempt to provide market-neutral exposure, and to
     generate returns from DB's optimum yield technology

[]   DBLCI Commodity Momentum: The strategy goes either long or short an equally
     weighted basket of commodities, depending on momentum in the commodities
     complex.

[]   Transparency: Rule-based index with the closing level published daily on
     Bloomberg (DBCMAP14)

                                                                              49

[] 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

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

[]   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

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

     retrospectively prior to their Index Live Dates

[]   DBLCI-MR Plus TM Excess Return is a dynamic allocation strategy based on
     the performance of the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return Index
[]   Mandatory rebalancing takes place on a monthly basis
[]   At each monthly rebalancing, the allocation in the DBLCI-MR TM Excess
     Return strategy is determined based on the performance of the DBLCI-MR TM
     Excess Return over the previous 12 months
[]   Twelve performance indicators are built, reflecting the performance of
     DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return over previous 12-months, 11-months, 10-months []
     3-months, 2-months, 1-month
[]   The allocation or component weight to commodities is proportional to the
     number of times the DBCLI-MR TM Excess Return performance is greater than
     zero. The current allocation is 100% (see table)
[]   Rules based momentum strategy with no human intervention, only execution []
     The allocation can be as low as 0% and as high as 100%

Optimized Yield
Contract Selection to Create an "Optimal Yield"

Contract selection and roll return can have a significant impact in the overall
return of the index

[]   Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yieldeld ("OY") technology rolls 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


                               [GRAPHICS OMITTED]

Contract Expiry Date

[]   Longer dated contracts typically have less negative carry when the curve
     slopes upward (contango)


                               [GRAPHICS OMITTED]

Contract Expiry Date

[]   Shorter dated contracts typically offer greater positive carry when the
     curve slopes downward (backwardation)

                                                                              56

Risk-Parity   Technology

[]   On each rebalance date we calculate the total index risk, (R)p, on that
     date according to the formula

                               [GRAPHICS OMITTED]




[]   We then solve the above set of non linear equations for each Wi with the
     following constraints

            [GRAPHICS OMITTED]

[]   Constraints 1) and 2) above are necessary and sufficient for any
     risk-parity formulation, but using only these two constraints leaves one
     degree -of-freedom open. Constraint 3) above fixes this final degree
     -of-freedom by imposing an overall leverage on the index in an attempt to
     target a constant level of (user-specified) risk within the portfolio of
     sector exposures

                                                                              59

Risk 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 Momentum strategy described herein aims to go long a basket of
     commodities at certain times, short a basket of commodities at certain
     other times and provide no exposure the remaining times based on observing
     momentum across fourteen commodities. However, indices employing the
     Momentum strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective

[]   The Risk Parity strategy described herein aims to provide exposure to four
     commodity sector indices such that risk contribution of each to the
     resulting portfolio, determined based on past three months' realized
     volatilities and correlations, is equal. However, indices employing the
     Risk Parity 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

                                                                              63

Risk 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
