Important Risk Considerations:
The PowerShares DB Base Metals 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 inverse or leveraged
investment results by means of securities that reset their exposure monthly.
Investing in the ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or
index components because the current principal amount (the amount you invested)
is reset each month, resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. The
principal amount is also subject to the investor fee, which can adversely
affect returns. The amount you receive at maturity (or upon an earlier
repurchase) will be contingent upon each monthly performance of the index
during the term of the securities. 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 for your
securities may not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances.
The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of
Deutsche Bank
AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares Base Metals ETNs is
entirely dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay. The
PowerShares Base Metals ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection.
Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs include limited
portfolio diversification, full principal at risk, trade price fluctuations,
illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals
ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components.
The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or upon
redemption of your PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs even if the value of the
relevant index has increased. If at any time the repurchase value of the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless.
Deutsche Bank may accelerate the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs upon a
regulatory event affecting the ability to hedge the PowerShares DB Base Metals
ETNs.
The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca
through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs that you may redeem directly with Deutsche Bank
AG, London Branch, as specified in the applicable pricing supplement. Ordinary
brokerage commissions apply, and there are tax consequences in the event of
sale, redemption or maturity of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs. Sales in
the secondary market may result in losses.
The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs provide concentrated exposure to notional
positions in aluminum, copper and zinc futures contracts. The market value of
the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable
factors, including, among other things, volatile base metal prices, changes in
supply and demand relationships, changes in interest rates, and monetary and
other governmental actions. Because
the ETNs provide concentrated exposure to notional positions in futures
contracts of a single commodity sector, they are speculative and generally will
exhibit higher volatility than commodity products linked to more than one
commodity sector.
The PowerShares DB Base Metals Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Base Metals
Double Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are likely to be
more volatile than an unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk of
loss of principal associated with a leveraged investment than with an
unleveraged investment.
