Strategy Overview
CIO Strategies is our discretionary solution for multi asset investors
CIO Strategies is an open architecture, broadly diversified discretionary
portfolio solution
which seeks to meet or exceed a client's return objectives while staying
within their
stated risk parameters
Investment allocations in each of the four strategies are actively managed
to take
advantage of tactical opportunities in different asset classes while
maintaining that
strategy's risk/return requirements.
Currently utilizes three asset classes and 14 sub-asset classes; U.S. large
cap
equity and U.S. investment grade bonds may be separately managed by
proprietary
asset class specialists.
Sub-asset classes are implemented through top-quartile proprietary and third -
party
mutual funds and ETFs.

Multi Asset Investment Process
Deutsche Bank Wealth Management's CIO1 View and Research is the starting
point
View Generation
A quarterly CIO Day gathers the
most senior professionals in
Deutsche Bank WM responsible for
asset classes and research.
Investment experts assess the
macro-economic environment and
outlook, indentifying and analyzing
key market drivers.
Outlook for Fixed Income, Equities,
Alternatives and Multi Assets is
reviewed and challenged.
The decisions taken at the CIO Day are
presented in our CIO View which includes:
Macro-economic environment
Single asset class outlook
Financial market forecasts and
high-conviction ideas
Risks to the main scenario
Strategic CIO View is the starting point for our multi asset investment
process

MIC
The Multi Asset
Investment Committee
(MIC) decides about
global lead allocation,
currency and duration
recommendations based
on CIO View and single
asset class input.
The MIC creates a global
cross-asset view which
serves as the basis for
regional allocation
decisions.

RIC
Regional Investment Committees (RIC) exist in Germany, the
Americas, EMEA and Asia
The committees create regional multi asset lead portfolios that provide
local flavor
with higher granularity and integrate regional investors' preferences. The
regional
lead allocations serve as basis for Multi Asset Allocation strategies.
PIC
Portfolio Implementation reCommendation (PIC)
Different asset-class specific groups create investable portfolio
implementation
recommendations on single security level suitable to implement RIC
allocations.
These groups use best in class research and the entire know-how of the group
to
advise best solutions for Multi Asset clients.

DEFINITION of 'Batting Average' - A statistical measure used to measure an
investment manager's ability to meet or beat an index. Batting average is

number of days (or months, quarters, etc ) in which the manager beats or
matches the index by the total number of days (or months, quarters, etc.) in
the period of question and
multiplying that factor by 100.

Important information
The asset allocations described herein are formulated by the Regional
Investment Committee (RIC) within Deutsche Bank Wealth Management (Deutsche
Bank WM) and may
utilize the following asset class components: U.S. large cap equity, U.S.
small cap equity, Europe equity, Japan equity, Pacific ex-Japan equity,
emerging markets equity, municipal
bonds, U.S. high-yield bonds, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities,
emerging market debt, hedge funds, commodities, and cash. RIC currently
recognizes four basic investment
strategies: Income, Growth & Income, Growth, and Maximum Growth. The
strategy selected is based upon the individual investor's objectives and
risk tolerance. Your selected
portfolio will determine the specific allocation to the asset classes
represented by the vehicles described herein. Please note returns for the
large cap equity portion are represented
by the Quality Growth Composite. Implementation vehicles and asset
allocations are determined by the Deutsche Bank WM RIC and are change
subject at their discretion.
Results presented herein do not represent the results of actual trading
using client assets. The returns shown in this document are model returns
and do not reflect Deutsche Bank
management fees or other expenses that may be incurred in the actual
management of an account. If such fees and expenses were deducted, the
results would be lower. Please
be advised of the limitations inherent in using model results. Accounts
managed according to the Model may perform differently over the same time
period depending on the size of
the account, restrictions, the amount of the transaction and related costs,
the inception date of the account and other factors. Actual clients may
experience returns that are more or
less than those of the Model. These model returns do not reflect the impact
that material economic factors may have had on our decision-making. Model
returns are not indicative
of future results; there is always the potential for loss as well as for
profit. These returns should not be considered indicative of the skill of
the advisor.
The CIO Strategy model portfolios commenced on 1/1/05. The model returns
reflected herein were achieved by calculating monthly weighted-average
returns using actual tactical
allocations and vehicles beginning 1/01/05. The model returns presented are
used to portray what the CIO Strategies performance would have been during
the period if client
assets had been invested in these CIO Strategies securities recommendations.
Deutsche Bank will continue to employ tactical strategy allocation and
rebalancing techniques and
therefore the portfolio allocation will change dynamically as market
conditions warrant. Please refer to the CIO Strategies marketing information
for a description of the methodology
used to select investments.
The standard fee schedule generally applied to accounts invested in this
EFTA01477969
strategy is as follows: 1.20% on the first $2 million; 0.85% on the next $3
million; 0.60% on the next $5
million; and 0.45% on the balance. Actual investment advisory fees incurred
by clients may vary.
Blended benchmarks are comprised of indices representing the broad asset
classes utilized by the RIC. Blended benchmark returns are calculated and
rebalanced monthly. A
current list of the allocation weights and components in the blended
benchmark can be found below. A complete list of historical allocation
weights and components is available

Economic & Asset Class Outlook
March/April 2016 Outlook

— There are initial signs that U.S.
manufacturing may be

surveys turning positive. While
housing data is solid, consumer
spending has been tepid.
ith

i
l
— In Europe, manufacturing has
been positive, the labor market
is improving and personal
consumption is solid. However,
geopolitical risks are beginning
to weigh on sentiment.
— Slow global growth has weighed
on manufacturing and business
confidence in Japan.
— Emerging markets continue to
gg
be challenged by slow global
trade, political headwinds and
sluggish domestic demand.
— Tighter financial conditions in
some areas (e.g. U.S.), weak
global trade and geopolitical
risks have led us to downgrade
our 2016 global growth forecast
(from 3.4% to 3.2%).
led
downgrade
— All developed markets were
brought lower led by the U.S.
(from 2.4% to 1.9% in 2016) as
an inventory drawdown, weak
manufact ring and slow exports
may weigh on growth this year.
facturing
— Europe and Japan were
modestly reduced but
aggressive central bank policy
should support growth.
— EM growth should gradually
recover as commodity prices
find a bottom, reforms take hold
and FX volatility subsides.
EFTA01477973

Monetary Policy, Inflation
and FX
— Slower U.S. economic growth
has resulted in the FOMC
ddi
tl
k
downgrading their outlook on
growth, inflation and magnitude
of Fed funds rate hikes in 2016
th
— The ECB will likely remain in a
wait and see mode and let the
aggressive actions taken at their
March meeting (e.g. negative
interest rates, increased QE)
filter into the economy.
— The PBOC and BoJ will keep
the door open to take additional
stimulus measures to support
growth (e.g. QE, rate cuts).
— The USD should gain
momentum vs. the developed
markets as Fed policy diverges
from other central banks.
— Ongoing geopolitical risks and
lower growth than originally
anticipated will likely limit the
Fed to raise rates one time this
year (likely June meeting) with
Fed to raise
one post election. This will be
highly dependant on the outlook
for growth and inflation.
— A weak Euro and stabilization in
commodity prices should help
Europe inflation move higher.
hi h
— Growth and interest rate
differentials and diverging
monetary policy support the
dollar long term, especially
versus the Euro and Yen.
— China and India should remain
accommodative while Latin
American countries have less
flexibility due to high inflation.
e
Bond markets
EFTA01477974
— Global bond yields will likely
remain lower for longer despite
th Fed'd's ghtening cycle and
modest pick up in inflation.
ti ht
d
— The rise in yields in the near
term should be limited due to
low commodity prices, central
bank QE (ECB and BoJ),
geopolitical risks (e.g. Brexit)
and concern over at least a
modest pullback in risky assets
— We remain modestly overweight
high yield but active
management is recommended.
— We remain underweight EM
debt due to uncertain economic
fundamentals, volatile
currencies and heavy USD
denominated debt burdens.
— The rise in long term yields over
the next 12 mos will likely be
muted as moderate inflation, a
"slow" Fed tightening cycle and
aggressive stimulus from the
ECB and BoJ keep global
sovereign yields contained.
Fe tightening
— We recommend a modest short
duration to the benchmark due
to the expectation of modestly
higher yields in thth le ong run.
— Focus on select credit (e.g. IG
and high yield). History
suggests credit outperforms
sovereigns in tightening cycles.
— Cautious on EM debt due to the
uncertain growth outlook but
looking for opportunities to add.
— Active management advised,
especially in high yield.

a resu lt, valuations look
stretched, technicals are

territory and near term caution
may be warranted.
— We reduced our weighting to
global equities by lowering the
U.S. (still overweight) and
Europe (to neutral).
— Still favor DM vs. EM.
— In the near term, global equities
may be challenged by weak
earnings, geopolitical risks and
stretched valuations.
— Favor select cyclicals over
defensives.
— In EM favor Asia over Latam.
— Over the next 12 months,
equities should be supported by
improving earnings growth,
modest economic growth and
economic
accommodative central banks.
— However, heightened volatility
will offer tactical opportunities to
adjust positions (e.g. regions,
sectors) as warranted.
— As the economic cycle matures
(especially in U.S.), returns
should be driven by dividends,
buybacks and earnings growth.
— Favor DM over EM due to more
attractive fundamentals, better
earnings visibility and greater
monetary policy flexibility.
— In EM, favor Asia vs. Latam due
to more attractive fundamentals
and policy flexibility.
Alternatives and
Commodities
— With oil production continuing to
come down (rig count near
1)
seven year low) an the ollar
remaining under pressure,
prices have been able to find
near term stability.
d th d 11
— However, it is too early to
suggest the bottom in oil prices
is behind us. Oil prices will likely
EFTA01477976
be challenged in the near term
as the dollar gains strength and
the ongoing supply/demand
imbalance remains.
— Gold has been supported by
geopolitical events, aggressive
central bank actions and slower
Fed rate hikes.
— Increased volatility to favor
select hedge funds.
— The combination of heightened
volatility, over supply and
stronger dollar keeps us
underweight commodities.
ei
— However, an expectation for
better global growth (in 2016)
and likely production cuts
should support a modest rise in
oil prices over the next 12
months (Mar 2017 target=$50)
— Another way to complement
commodity exposure is through
investments less sensitive to the
price of oil (e.g. MLPs, oil
transportation & storage).
— We favor hedge funds with a
focus on equity market neutral.
These should benefit from
dispersion within equity sectors
and regions.

Investments in Foreign Countries - Such investments may be in countries that
prove to be politically or economically unstable. Furthermore, in the case
of investments in foreign
securities or other assets, any fluctuations in currency exchange rates will
affect the value of the investments and any restrictions imposed to prevent
capital flight may make it
difficult or impossible to exchange or repatriate foreign currency.
Emerging Markets - Such markets may be in transitional or formative stages
and thus may be significantly less stable than developed markets. Changes in
emerging markets
government structures or other political instability may result in
nationalization, expropriation, ad hoc regulation, or foreign investment
restrictions. Emerging market investments
are at risk for currency devaluation as well as convertibility liquidity and
transparency constraints The high volatility and speculative nature of
emerging market investments may

, as wel as convertibility,
result in both significant losses or profits.
Foreign Exchange/Currency - Such transactions involve multiple risks,
including currency risk and settlement risk. Economic or financial
instability, lack of timely or reliable
financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments may
substantially and permanently alter the conditions, terms, marketability or
price of a foreign currency.
Profits and losses in transactions in foreign exchange will also be affected
by fluctuations in currency where there is a need to convert the product's
denomination(s) to another
currency. Time zone differences may cause several hours to elapse between a
payment being made in one currency and an offsetting payment in another
currency. Relevant
movements in currencies during the settlement period may seriously erode
potential profits or significantly increase any losses.
High Yield Fixed Income Securities - Investing in high yield bonds which
tend to be more volatile than investment grade fixed income securities is
speculative These bonds are
affected by interest rate changes and the creditworthiness of the issuers,
and investing in high yield bonds poses additional credit risk, as well as
greater risk of default.

Commodities - The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial.
The price of commodities (e.g., raw industrial materials such as gold,
copper and aluminum) may be
subject to substantial fluctuations over short periods of time and may be
affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies.
Additionally, valuations of
commodities may be susceptible to such adverse global economic, political or
regulatory developments. Prospective investors must independently assess the
