Investors should be aware
of persistent negative real rates

Financial repression: still                                       10-year inflation-indexed government bond yield comparison
restraining real rates looks at
central banks’ use of
monetary policy to hold
down real interest rates.
This so-called “financial
repression” carries a number
of policy risks and creates
challenges for investors.

1   Refers to Risk Return Engineering and Plus strategies: Plus means continuous portfolio hedging so that a targeted lower value limit is met with a high probability (99%). This does
    not constitute a loss limitation commitment or capital guarantee or a statement by the Bank that it will be able to comply with the targeted loss limitation. In particular, the
    targeted loss limitation does not rule out the possibility of higher losses arising (no capital protection). The hedging can lead to a reduction in the return.

2 The share class for the Conservative Plus Fund targets a distribution of 2% per annum. The share class for Balanced Plus targets a distribution of 4% per annum. Distribution
  amounts are not guaranteed and are purely indicative. The targeted distribution amounts depend on various factors, such as market developments and the composition of the
  portfolio, and may be subject to change without notice. Actual determined distributions may therefore differ over time or may even be zero.

1. CIO stands for Chief Investment Office
2. Plus Strategy means continuous portfolio hedging so that a targeted lower value limit is met with a high probability (99%). This does not constitute a loss limitation commitment
or capital guarantee or a statement by the Bank that it will be able to comply with the targeted loss limitation. In particular, the targeted loss limitation does not rule out the
possibility of higher losses arising (no capital protection). The hedging can lead to a reduction in the return. Source: Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, 5 May 2021

1 Call Writing Strategy: The fund may sell call options on the underlying portfolio or portfolio related positions (i.e. options on broad market equity indices, bond indices or
  commodity indices) in order to receive a premium and increase the income. Selling call options generally results in the sub-fund not or only partially participating in price
  increases of the underlying assets. On the other hand participation in price losses is reduced by the amount of the option premiums received. Selling call options on portfolio-
  related positions may increase the basis risk. There is no guarantee that investment objectives or return expectations may be realized. Past performance is not indicative of future

1 If the targeted loss limitation is reached, the Bank will not automatically sell portfolio positions; rather further actions shall be taken based on the current market expectations of
  the Bank. The targeted loss limitation does not exclude the possibility that bigger losses may result (no capital protection).
2 Distribution targets are not guaranteed and are purely indicative. The targeted distribution amounts depend on various factors, such as market developments and the
  composition of the portfolio and may be subject to change without notice. Actual determined distributions may therefore differ over time or may even be zero.
3 Asset Class ranges are indicative and depend on the evolution of financial markets (including DB WM market outlook, asset valuation levels, real and implied volatility levels), and
  how those factors conjunctively influence the risk-return-profile of the mandate.

There is no guarantee that investment objectives or return expectations may be realized. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. Investments come with risk. The value
of an investment can fall as well as rise and you might not get back the amount originally invested at any point in time. Your capital may be at risk. Source: Deutsche Wealth

Risk areas related to ETFs* (1/2)
Liquidity risk: Certain types of securities in which the Sub-Fund ** invests or which are provided to the Sub-Fund as collateral are difficult to buy or sell,
particularly in times of unfavorable market conditions. This may make it more difficult to determine the price of the components of the underlying and thus
have a negative impact on the value of the underlying. This can have a negative impact on the net asset value per share of the sub- fund. The fact that the
shares may be listed on a stock exchange does not guarantee the liquidity of the shares.
Shares can be traded at prices differing from the net asset value: The net asset value of a sub-fund is the price at which shares of this sub-fund can be
subscribed or redeemed. The market price of the shares may sometimes be above or below this net asset value. There is therefore a risk for investors not to be
able to buy or sell at a price roughly equal to this net asset value. Various factors can lead to such a deviation from the net asset value, which is exacerbated in
the event of a large imbalance between supply and demand for the underlying securities. The ask / ask spread of the Shares (the difference between the price
that potential buyers are willing to pay and at which potential seller is willing to sell) may also result in prices that differ from the net asset value. In times of
volatility or uncertainty on the market, the bid / ask spread can widen and the deviation from the net asset value can widen.
Counterparty / credit rating / issuer risk: Credit risk is the risk of the counterparty (issuer) being unable to pay, i.e. a possible inability to meet its payment
obligations at a certain point in time or permanently, such as dividend payments, interest payments, repayments, etc. If the issuer is unable to meet its
obligation to the investor, the investor is at risk of a total loss. Alternative terms for credit risk are debtor or issuer risk. The creditworthiness risk is also
important for guarantee providers. The issuer's credit risk is reflected in the value of a financial product.
Influence on price formation: Scientific studies arrive to different conclusions on the possible influence of ETFs on price formation. Mechanical index
investment could limit the information function of prices, with additional liquidity improving the pricing process, but risks from possible transfers of price
shocks are conceivable. It is open for debate, how large the ETF sector needs to be in order to impact price formation and the corresponding information
function investors derive from it.
Cost risk: cost blocks such as administrative, operational and transaction costs are incurred even if an ETF does not make a profit. Passive management risk:
ETFs replicate indices and do not attempt to outperform them or to counteract a loss in value in times of falling indices. As a result, ETFs lose at least as much
in value as the replicated index when the index falls.
Replication risk: ETFs try to track indices. However, the performance of an ETF will deviate negatively from that of the index, since there are administrative and
other costs at fund level, the direct replication of an index leads to transaction costs and possibly not all components of an index can be purchased at all.
Risk from sampling / mapping techniques: For various reasons, ETFs may not be able to hold all index components themselves. Therefore, various techniques
are used to achieve a performance that comes as close as possible to that of the index. As a result, the portfolio of an ETF may be composed of securities other
than those of the index and therefore the performance may differ negatively from that of the index.

Risk areas related to ETFs* (2/2)
Synthetic Mapping Risk: ETFs that seek synthetic index replication seek to achieve index performance through a total return swap with a counterparty. In doing
so, they may hold assets as collateral that are not related to the components of the index. These ETFs are exposed to counterparty risk because their ability to
track the performance of the index depends on the counterparty's solvency. Insofar as they hold collateral, the collateral may not be recoverable and there is no
connection between the performance of the index shown and that of the collateral basket, so that the value of the ETF may then deviate significantly from that
of the index.
Index-related risks: Errors can occur when calculating the indices that represent ETFs. These can adversely affect the performance of an index, which can also
have a negative impact on the corresponding ETFs due to index replication. Rebalancing or changes in the composition of an index must be mapped by the ETF,
which can result in corresponding costs and can therefore have a negative impact on the performance of the ETF.
Risk of different composition: If ETFs cover the same markets or sectors, the same reference indices need not necessarily be used. The components of the ETFs
or indices may differ due to differences in methodology, different weightings or different calculation methods.
Risks in exchange-traded funds: The price for the purchase of shares in a fund on the stock exchange may differ from the value of the investment fund per
share. While the fund management company calculates the unit price once a day, prices are usually continuously formed on the stock exchange due to the
current relationship between supply and demand. Differences also result from the different recording of unit prices over time.
Lack of liquidity: ETFs are traded on exchanges, as market makers continuously price them. However, there is no guarantee that ETF Shares can actually be
bought or sold on a stock exchange at any time.
Securities Lending Risk: Some ETFs engage in securities lending to improve performance. If the relevant counterparty (the borrower) does not return the
securities, there is a risk of loss in value for the ETF, as it is hidden if any collateral provided cannot be realized or cannot be realized at a reasonable price.
Diversification risk: The distribution across various asset classes, sectors, countries and currencies is intended to reduce individual security risks in a portfolio.
However, a corresponding diversification cannot provide a guarantee and it is possible that all assets could develop negatively and that an investment fund will
therefore show a negative performance.

1 - DWS is the Management Company and the Fund Manager. This fund is managed by DWS and hence is an in-house product. Deutsche Bank Wealth Management acts as the Investment
Advisor of the Funds. 2.- The sub-fund may sell call options on the underlying portfolio or portfolio related positions (i.e. options on equity indices, bond indices or commodity indices) in
order to receive a premium and increase the income. Selling call options generally results in the sub-fund not or only partially participating in price increases of the underlying assets. On the
other hand participation in price losses is reduced by the amount of the option premiums received. 3 - “Plus” means a targeted loss limit is met with a high probability (99%), either through
systematic hedging, whenever economically rational, or through changes in asset allocation, when hedging is not economically rational. This does not constitute a loss limitation
commitment or a capital guarantee or a statement by the Bank that it will be able to comply with the targeted loss limit. In particular, the targeted loss limit does not rule out the possibility of
higher losses arising (no capital protection). The hedging can lead to a reduction in the return. 4 - The share class for the Conservative Plus Fund targets a distribution of 2% per annum.
The share class for Balanced Plus targets a distribution of 4% per annum. Distribution amounts are not guaranteed and are purely indicative. The targeted distribution amounts depend on
various factors, such as market developments and the composition of the portfolio, and may be subject to change without notice. Actual determined distributions may therefore differ over
time or may even be zero. 5 – Maximum loss with a 99% probability, however this is not a guarantee. Example: Risk budget = 10% ->In 99 out of 100 cases, the maximal loss is 10% or less.
Similarly, in one out of 100 cases, the loss is greater than 10%. For the Plus funds, the risk budgets (using a 99% confidence level) of -10% p.a. and -20% p.a., are provided on a daily rolling
basis over a 12-month forward-looking time horizon. This means that for any given date, the target loss limitation on a 12-month forward-looking time horizon is implemented with reference
to the current fund value, i.e. risk budget (99%) on January 5th = -10% for the next 12 months; risk budget (99%) on May 28th = -10% for the next 12 months. There is no guarantee that
investment objectives or return expectations may be realized. For illustrative purpose only. Source: Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, May 2021.
