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


                                                                          Optimized Yield

DBLCI -MR

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

DBLCI -- Mean Reversion Enhanced ex NG ERAC

Index Summary

[]   Components: Tracks the performance of a basket of 11 commodities:
     Aluminium, Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Lead, WTI Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, Corn,
     Wheat and Soybeans.

[]   Wheat : Wheat exposure is taken through an equally -weighted basket of
     Chicago Wheat, Minneapolis Wheat and Kansas Wheat

[]   Dynamic Weights and Diversification: Seeks to underweight relatively
     expensive commodities and overweight relatively cheap commodities among
     twelve of the most liquid commodities in four sectors: Energy, Base Metals,
     Precious Metals, Agriculture. In order to avoid concentration and ensure
     adequate diversification, single commodity allocations are first subject to
     a 32% cap and then to 18% cap on subsequent commodities.

[]   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

[]   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

[]   Embedded Cost: 1.00% per annum

DB MR Enhanced 15

Index Summary

[]   Components: Tracks the performance of a basket of 12 commodities:
     Aluminium, Nickel, Zinc, Copper, Lead, WTI Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gold,
     Silver, Corn, Wheat and Soybeans

[]   Wheat(1) : Wheat exposure is taken through an equally -weighted basket of
     Chicago Wheat, Minneapolis Wheat and Kansas Wheat

[]   Dynamic Weights and Diversification (2): Seeks to underweight relatively
     expensive commodities and overweight relatively cheap commodities among
     twelve of the most liquid commodities in four sectors: Energy, Base Metals,
     Precious Metals, Agriculture. In order to avoid concentration and ensure
     adequate diversification, single commodity allocations except Agriculture
     commodities are first subject to a 32% cap and then to 18% cap on
     subsequent commodities. Agriculture commodities are subject to a cap of 18%

[]   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

[]   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)

Notes:
1 Until Feb 2012 exposure to Wheat in the Mean Reversion Enhanced Index was
taken entirely through Chicago Wheat futures
2 Until Feb 2012 the single commodity weighting cap was 35% (currently 32%) and
the subsequent individual cap was 20% (currently 18%)


                                                                              22

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)

                                                                              25

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

Section 5


 

 
 

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.

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


                                                                              43

Strategy aims to generate alpha from roll returns and to smoothen the return
profile by adjusting exposure in response to changes in realized volatility


-    BETA: (DBLCI -MR Enhanced ERAC Index) attempts to provide enhanced beta
     exposure to commodities using the mean reversion behaviour of commodities.
     It dynamically allocates exposure to 12 commodities across sectors and
     attempts to optimize roll returns.

-    ALPHA: (DB Commodity Harvest USD ERAC Index) attempts to generate alpha by
     using DB's optimum yield technology, while providing market -neutral
     exposure to commodities.

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 ERAC

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 3X 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%, with a maximum exposure of 200%.

[]   Embedded Cost: A fee of 1.00% per annum is embedded in the basket.

[]   DBLCI MR Enhanced (1): 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. In order to avoid concentration and ensure
     adequate diversification, single commodity allocations except Agriculture
     commodities are first subject to a 32% cap and then to 18% cap on
     subsequent commodities. Agriculture commodities are subject to a cap of
     18%.

[]   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 (DBCMA14N)

Note:
1 Until Feb 2012 the single commodity weighting cap was 35% (currently 32%) and
the subsequent individual cap was 20% (currently 18%)


                                                                              52

Index Summary

[]   Composition: DB Commodity Curve Alpha ERAC Index (the "Index") has the same
     base weights as the SandP GSCI Light Energy Index. Weights are rebalanced
     annually

[]   Market Neutral Strategy: For each constituent commodity, the Index provides
     short exposure to the corresponding single commodity SandP GSCI Index and
     volatility adjusted long exposure to the OY Enhanced Index. The Index seeks
     to provide market -neutral exposure, and to generate returns from carry
     using DB's Optimum Yield Enhanced methodology

[]   Volatility Weighting: Every month, the long leg exposure for each
     constituent commodity is reset to 100%. Exposure to the short leg is set to
     (--100%) * 3-month realized volatility of the single commodity OY Enhanced
     Index / 3-month realized volatility of the single commodity GSCI index

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

                                                                              69


 

 
 

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

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

MR+

[]   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 50.00% (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 yield ("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

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

[]  Longer dated contracts typically have less negative [] Shorter dated contracts typically offer greater positive
    carry when the curve slopes upward (contango)          carry when the curve slopes downward (backwardation)

                                                                              72


 

 
 

Optimized Yield Index

Contract Selection

[]   When: The OY index rolls out of a currently held contract one month prior
     to delivery month of the contract

[]   New Contract Selection :

     --   the new contract is selected on the first business day of the month
          from the list of eligible contracts

     --   eligible contracts for selection are contracts with delivery months 2
          months after current month to 13 months after current month

     --   the eligible contract with the highest annualized implied roll yield
          is selected. If two or more contracts are tied for the maximum roll
          yield, the contract with the shorter tenor is selected

                                                                              73

Contract Selection (Cont'd)

[]   Implied Roll Yield measurement:

     --   implied roll yield for each eligible contract is measured as:

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

     --   Y(t,i): on any day t, the implied roll yield for entering into the
          commodity futures contract with exchange expiration month i

     --   PC(t,b): Closing price of the base commodity future b

     --   PC(t,i): Closing price of any eligible futures contract i

     --   F(t,i,b): Fraction of year between expiry dates of the base futures
          contract b and the futures contract with exchange expiration month i.
          Calculated as number of calendar days between dates divided by 365 --
          b: Base commodity future is the commodity future currently in the
          index

[]   OY index rolls a specified number of units of the commodity every day
     during the roll period

Risk -Parity Technology

[]   On each rebalance date we calculate the total index risk, Rp, on that date
     according to the formula

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]


     []   Where the volatility and dollar-weighting of the i(t)(h) sector index
          is given by []i and Wi, respectively, and the correlation between the
          indices is given by []ij. To calculate []i and []ij we have used
          90-day historical levels based on log returns

[]   The amount of risk contributed, RCi, to the portfolio by the i(th) sector
     index is then calculated according to

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

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

     1)   Wi [] 0 for each i

     2)   RC1 = RC2 = RC3 = RC4

     3)   RP = TV, where TV is some pre-defined target level of portfolio risk

[]   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

                                                                              77


 

 
 

Overview of OY Enhanced

[]   For each commodity, exposure is provided to 3 sub-indices :

     --   Short-Term Index: invests in the front month contract - the same as
          GSCI contract

     --   Medium -Term Index: invests in a long-term liquid contract

     --   Long-Term Index: invests in an even longer-term liquid contract

[]   Roll: Each sub-index rolls into its target contract between the 2(nd) and
     6(th) business days of each month

[]   Rebalance: Exposure to each sub-index is computed at the close of the 1st
     business day of each month. Rebalance is implemented at the close of the
     2(nd) business day of the month

                                                                              78


 

 
 

Construction of OY Enhanced

[]   The Optimum Yield Enhanced (OYE) indices diversify their exposure over
     three points of the relevant commodity's forward curve , the short term
     contract, the medium term contract and the long term contract

[]   The methodology considers implied roll yields as well as historical
     volatility of curve shape to determine the exposure to be provided to the 3
     different contracts.

[]   Exposure to the three contracts is rebalanced on a monthly basis, thereby
     providing the flexibility to react to any change in curve shape.

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

                                                                              79


 

 
 

OY Enhanced Roll

[]   Choice of contracts for each component index is illustrated with Sugar
     below

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

[]   Table above shows the contracts into which each index will roll in the
     month mentioned in the top row

[]   Short-Term Index:

     []   Rolls into H contract in Jan, K in Feb, etc. In Sep, it rolls into H
          contract of the next year.

     []   This roll schedule matches the SandP GSCI index roll schedule (roll
          period for the 2 indices is different --GSCI rolls between 5(th) and
          9th business days of the month; OYE rolls between 2nd and 6th business
          days of the month)

[]   Medium -Term Index:

     []   For each commodity, 2 named contracts per year are specified as Liquid
          Contracts. For Sugar, these are H and V.

     []   The Medium -Term contract provides exposure to the first Liquid
          Contract available whose delivery month is after the Short-term Index
          contract's delivery month

[]   Long-Term Index:

     []   Provides exposure to the first Liquid Contract available whose
          delivery month is after the Medium -Term Index's delivery contract

[]   Unnecessary trading is avoided by maintaining continuity in contract
     exposures. E.g. In Jun, the Long-term Index rolls out of H * contract, the
     Medium -Term Index rolls out of V and into H *, and the Short-Term Index
     rolls into V. As a result, exposure is maintained to the H * and V
     contracts (although there might be a change in weights due to a change in
     Sharpe Ratios)

                                                                              80


 

 
 

OY Enhanced Rebalance

[]   For each commodity, exposure across the 3 sub-indices is computed as
     follows

     1.   Compute Implied Roll Return for each sub-index

The rebalance calculation is performed at the end of the 1(st) business day of
every month

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

          []   Spot Contract: Contract Short-Term Index rolled into in the
               previous month

          []   Target Contract: Contract Short-Term Index will roll into in the
               current month. If this is the same as Spot Contract, then it is
               replaced by the next available GSCI contract

          []   T: Days between expiry dates of Target Contract and Spot Contract
               / 365

2. Compute Volatility for each sub-index

          []   Compute daily returns, r(s), of the Spot Contract for last 61
               business days

          []   Compute daily returns, r(t), of the Target Contract for last 61
               business days

          []   Compute spread returns: r(spread) = r(t) -- r(s)

          []   Compute annualized volatility of spread returns

3. Compute Sharpe Ratio for each sub-index

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

4. Transform Sharpe Ratio of each sub-index to a Probability Measure

          []   Probability Measure = Cumulative probability on a standard normal
               distribution for the computed Sharpe Ratio. The higher the Sharpe
               Ratio, the higher will be the Probability Measure. In this way, a
               Sharpe Ratio which can be negative or positive is transformed to
               a measure that is always positive and lies between 0 and 1.

5. Compute Exposures

     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 Optimum Yield and Optimum Yield Enhanced strategies described herein
     aim 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 Optimum Yield and Optimum Yield
     Enhanced strategies 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 Optimum Yield strategies described herein.
     However, there is no guarantee that an index employing the Allocator
     strategy, or any of the Mean Reversion and Optimum Yield strategies, will
     be successful in achieving the desired objective

[]   The Apex 14 ERAC Index described herein aims to maximize returns by
     combining the Mean Reversion, market neutral, Momentum and Target
     Volatility strategies described herein. However, there is no guarantee that
     an index employing any of these strategies will be successful in achieving
     the desired objective

[]   The DB Commodity Backwardation Alpha Index adopts a long-short strategy of
     taking a long position in six of the twelve index commodities with the
     highest positive roll yields in backwardated markets (or the lowest
     negative roll yields in contango markets), in conjunction with the Optimum
     Yield Enhanced strategy described herein, and taking a short position in
     the remaining six index commodities. However, the long-short strategy and
     Optimum Yield Enhanced strategy employed by the DB Commodity Backwardation
     Alpha Index may not be successful, and the index may not be able to achieve
     its desired objective


                                                                              87


 

 
 

Risk Considerations (Cont'd)

[]   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

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

Index Comparison

[]   In this document, various performance -related statistics, such as index
     return and volatility, among others, of each Deutsche Bank proprietary
     index included herein are compared with those of their related Deutsche
     Bank and/or non-Deutsche Bank indices. Such comparisons are for information
     purposes only. No assurance can be given that such Deutsche Bank
     proprietary indices included herein will outperform their related Deutsche
     Bank and/or non-Deutsche Bank indices in the future; nor can assurance be
     given that such Deutsche Bank proprietary indices will not significantly
     underperform their related Deutsche Bank and/or non-Deutsche Bank indices
     in the future. Similarly, no assurance can be given that the relative
     volatility levels of such Deutsche Bank proprietary indices and their
     related Deutsche Bank and/or non-Deutsche Bank indices will remain the same
     in the future

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
