STOXX Europe Low Beta High Div 50 Price EUR Index (Bloomberg: SDB50EP Index)
Monthly Performance Report - 29 August 2014

The STOXX Europe Low Beta High Div 50 Index (the "Index") aims to select 50
companies from the STOXX Europe 600 Index, which have 12-month net dividend
yields higher than the EURO STOXX 50 Index and the lowest 12-month betas to the
same index. Currently, the Index has a balanced exposure to Euro and non-Euro
country stocks, with non-Euro countries currently representing 58% of the total
allocation. In addition, the Index is currently comprised predominantly of mid
cap stocks. The current Index constituents have a weighted average market
capitalization of 19 billion Euro compared to 60 billion for the EURO STOXX 50
Index.

In 2014, 47% of the Index is comprised of stocks of companies based in Britain,
Switzerland and Norway, with another 10% in Italy and only 8% in France and
Germany combined. When broken down by sector, 59% of the Index in 2014 is
concentrated in Utilities, Financials and Telecommunication Services. The only
stock in common with the EURO STOXX 50 Index is Unilever NV.

Since going live five months ago on March 15, 2014, the Index has outperformed
the EURO STOXX 50 Index by more than 2% with a lower realized volatility.
Furthermore, in the last 3 months, the Index has outpaced the EURO STOXX 50
Index by an average of 0.74% per month. However, because the Index did not go
live until March 13, 2014, the Index has a very limited performance history and
such short historical performance of the Index is no indication of future
performance.

Sector Allocation / Performance

Source: Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg Finance, L.P.
Performance as of 29th August 2014. The Index did not exist prior to March 13,
2014 (the "Live Date"). The Index has very limited performance history and no
actual investment which allowed tracking of the performance of the Index was
possible before the Live Date. All results prior to the Live Date were
retrospectively calculated. Accordingly, the results shown during the
retrospective period are hypothetical and do not reflect actual returns. Past
performance is not an indicator of future results. The performance of any
investment product based on the Index would have been lower than the Index as a
result of fees and/or costs. See "Key Risk Factors" below for more
information.
Key Risk Factors
Before investing in any financial product linked to the Index, prospective
investors should carefully consider the following key risk factors as well as
the matters set forth in the relevant disclosure documents, including the risk
disclosure for such investment.
-- The Index aims to select 50 companies from the STOXX Europe 600 Index, which
have 12-month net dividend yields higher than the EURO STOXX 50 Index and the
lowest 12-month betas to the same index. If the Index strategy is not
successful, the return on your investment may be adversely affected.
-- There is no assurance that the Index will outperform the EURO STOXX 50
Index. Even if the Index does outperform the EURO STOXX 50 Index, the level of
the Index may decline, in which case, you may lose some or all of your
investment.
-- Calculation of the Index began on March 13, 2014. Therefore, the Index has a
very limited performance history and no actual investment which allowed
tracking of the performance of the Index was possible before March 13, 2014.
-- The Index methodology was designed, constructed and tested using historic
market data and based on knowledge of factors that may have affected its
performance. The returns prior to March 13, 2014 were achieved by means of a
retroactive application of the back-tested Index methodology designed with the
benefit of hindsight.
-- STOXX, the sponsor of the Index, carries out the calculations necessary to
promulgate the Index and the maintains some discretion as to how such
calculations are made. STOXX also conducts general methodology reviews in a
periodic and ad-hoc basis to reflect economic and political changes and
developments in the investment industry. STOXX may introduce changes to the
methodology of the Index as result of these activities. Any of these actions
could adversely affect the value of securities linked to the Index.
-- Because the Index may consist of stocks denominated in non-Euro currencies
that are converted into Euro for purposes of calculating the level of the
Index, the Index is subject to

The distribution of this document and the availability of some of the products
and services referred to herein may be restricted by law in certain
jurisdictions. Some products and services referred to herein are not eligible
for sale in all countries and in any event may only be sold to qualified
investors. Deutsche Bank will not offer or sell any products or services to any
persons prohibited by the law in their country of origin or in any other
relevant country from engaging in any such transactions. Prospective investors
should understand and discuss with their professional tax, legal, accounting
and other advisors the effect of entering into or purchasing any transaction,
product or security (each, a "Structured Product"). Before entering into any
Structured Product, you should take steps to ensure that you understand and
have assessed with your financial advisor, or made an independent assessment
of, the appropriateness of the transaction in the light of your own objectives
and circumstances, including the possible risks and benefits of entering into
such Structured Product. Structured Products are not suitable for all investors
due to illiquidity, optionality, time to redemption and payoff nature of the
strategy. Deutsche Bank or persons associated with Deutsche Bank and their
affiliates may: maintain a long or short position in securities referenced
herein or in related futures or options; purchase, sell or maintain inventory;
engage in any other transaction involving such securities; and earn brokerage
or other compensation. Any payout information, scenario analysis, and
hypothetical calculations should in no case be construed as an indication of
expected payout on an actual investment and/or expected behavior of an actual
Structured Product. Calculations of returns on Structured Products may be
linked to a referenced index or interest rate. As such, the Structured Products
may not be suitable for persons unfamiliar with such index or interest rate, or
unwilling or unable to bear the risks associated with the transaction.
Structured Products denominated in a currency, other than the investor's home
currency, will be subject to changes in exchange rates, which may have an
adverse effect on the value, price or income return of the products. These
Structured Products may not be readily realizable investments and are not
traded on any regulated market. Structured Products involve risk, which may
include interest rate, index, currency, credit, political, liquidity, time
value, commodity and market risk and are not suitable for all investors.
Deutsche Bank does not provide accounting, tax or legal advice.
Structured Products discussed herein are not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other governmental agency.
These Structured Products are not insured by any statutory scheme or
governmental agency of the United Kingdom.
These Structured Products typically involve a high degree of risk, are not
readily transferable and typically will not be listed or traded on any exchange
and are intended for sale only to investors who are capable of understanding
and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any Structured Product may
be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including,
but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to
maturity, market conditions and volatility and the equity prices and credit
quality of any issuer or reference issuer.
