JAPANESE GOVERNMENT BONDS
JGBT PowerShares DB 3x Govt Bond Futures ETN
JGBL PowerShares DB Govt Bond Futures ETN
JGBS PowerShares DB Inverse Govt Bond Futures ETN
JGBD PowerShares DB 3x Inverse Govt Bond Futures ETN

The PowerShares DB 3x Japanese Govt Bond Futures Exchange Traded Notes (Symbol:
JGBT), PowerShares DB Japanese Govt Bond Futures Exchange Traded Notes (Symbol:
JGBL) (collectively, the "PowerShares DB JGB Futures ETNs") and the PowerShares
DB Inverse Japanese Govt Bond Futures Exchange Traded Notes (Symbol: JGBS) and
PowerShares DB 3x Inverse Japanese Govt Bond Futures Exchange Traded Notes
(Symbol: JGBD) (collectively, the "PowerShares DB Inverse JGB Futures ETNs",
together with the PowerShares DB JGB Futures ETNs, the "ETNs") are the first
exchange-traded products to provide investors with leveraged or unleveraged
exposure to the U.S. dollar value of the returns of a long Japanese sovereign
bond futures index or a short Japanese sovereign bond futures index,
repectively.

The ETNs are senior unsecured obligations issued by Deutsche Bank AG, London
Branch.

The PowerShares DB JGB Futures ETNs are based on the DB USD JGB Futures Index
(the "Long JGB Futures Index"), which is intended to measure the performance of
a notional long position in 10-year JGB Futures. The PowerShares DB Inverse JGB
Futures ETNs are based on the DB USD Inverse JGB Futures Index (the "Short JGB
Futures Index"), which is intended to measure the performance of a notional
short position in 10-year JGB Futures. The underlying assets of 10-year JGB
Futures are Japanese-government issued debt securities ("JGBs") with a remaining
term to maturity of not less than 7 years and not more than 11 years as of their
issue date and the futures contract delivery date. The returns of each ETN are
obtained by combining the monthly returns or three times the monthly returns
from the relevant JGB futures index with the returns of the DB 3-Month T-Bill
Index (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 50,000 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.

(1) ETN performance figures are based on repurchase value. Repurchase value is
the current principal amount x applicable index factor x fee factor. See the
prospectus for more complete information. ETN performance is based on a
combination of three times the monthly returns, for the 3x JGB Futures ETNs, or
the monthly returns, for the JGB Futures ETNs, from the Long JGB Futures Index
plus the monthly returns from the T-Bill Index and three times the monthly
returns, for the 3x Inverse JGB Futures ETNs, or the monthly returns, for the
Inverse JGB Futures ETNs, from the Short JGB Futures Index plus the monthly
returns from the T-Bill Index, resetting monthly as per the formula applied to
the ETNs, less the investor fee. The T-Bill Index is intended to approximate the
returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a rolling
basis.

Important Risk Considerations

Each security offers investors exposure to the month-over-month performance of
its respective index measured from the first calendar day to the last calendar
day of each month and the amount you receive at maturity (or upon an earlier
repurchase) will be contingent upon each monthly performance of the respective
index during the term of the ETNs. The leveraged ETNs may not be suitable for
investors seeking an investment with a term greater than the time remaining to
the next monthly reset date and should be used only by knowledgeable investors
who understand the potential adverse consequences of seeking longer-term
leveraged investment results by means of securities that reset their exposure
monthly, resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. Investing in the ETNs
is not equivalent to a direct investment in the applicable index or index
components. The principal amount is also subject to the monthly application of
the investor fee, which can adversely affect returns. 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 of your ETNs may not be offset by any beneficial monthly
performances.

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. Risks of investing in the ETNs include limited
portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, uncertain tax
treatment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. The
investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or upon
redemption of your ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased.
If at any time the repurchase value of the ETNs is zero, the relevant ETNs will
be accelerated and you will lose your entire investment in such ETNs. As
described in the pricing supplement, Deutsche Bank may redeem the ETNs for an
amount in cash equal to the repurchase value.

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. Sales in
the secondary market may result in losses.

The ETNs provide concentrated exposure to 10-year JGB 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, changes in currency exchange rates, and monetary and
other governmental actions, each in the U.S. or Japan.

The 3x JGB Futures ETN and the 3x Inverse JGB Futures ETN are leveraged
investments. As such, they are likely to be more volatile than unleveraged
investments. There is also a greater risk of loss of principal associated with
leveraged investments than with unleveraged investments.

An investor should consider the ETNs' investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses carefully before investing.

An investment in the ETNs involves risks, including the loss of some or all of
the principal amount. For a description of the main risks, see "Risk Factors"
in the applicable pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement
and prospectus.
