Footnotes to Performance Information

Aggregate Gross Capital Subscriptions is the aggregate of all amounts ever contributed to the pool, including redeemed investments.
Net Asset Value is the net asset value of the pool as of December 31, 2008.
Net Asset Value per Share is the Net Asset Value of the pool divided by the total number of Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008.
Worst Monthly Drawdown is the largest single month loss sustained since inception of trading. Drawdown as used in this section of the Prospectus means losses experienced by the relevant pool over the specified period and is calculated on a rate of return basis, i.e., dividing net performance by beginning equity. Drawdown is measured on the basis of monthly returns only, and does not reflect intra-month figures. Month is the month of the Worst Monthly Drawdown.
The Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown from June 2008 December 2008 includes the effect of the $0.34 per Share distribution made to Shareholders of record as of December 17, 2008. Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown is the largest percentage decline in the Net Asset Value per Share over the history of the pool. This need not be a continuous decline, but can be a series of positive and negative returns where the negative returns are larger than the positive returns. Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown represents the greatest percentage decline from any month-end Net Asset Value per Share that occurs without such month-end Net Asset Value per Share being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end. For example, if the Net Asset Value per Share of a particular pool declined by $1 in each of January and February, increased by $1 in March and declined again by $2 in April, a peak-to-valley drawdown analysis conducted as of the end of April would consider that drawdown to be still continuing and to be $3 in amount, whereas if the Net Asset Value per Share had increased by $2 in March, the January-February drawdown would have ended as of the end of February at the $2 level.
The December 2008 return of (6.71)% includes the $0.34 per Share distribution made to Shareholders of record as of December 17, 2008. Prior to the December 30, 2008 distribution, the pools return for December 2008 was (5.23)%.
The December 2007 return of 3.76% includes the $0.76 per Share distribution made to Shareholders of record as of December 19, 2007. Prior to the December 28, 2007 distribution, the pools return for December 2007 was 6.23%.
The December 2006 return of (4.70)% includes the $0.61 per Share distribution made to Shareholders of record as of December 20, 2006. Prior to the December 29, 2006 distribution, the pools return for December 2006 was (2.33)%.
Compound Rate of Return is based on an initial net asset value per share of $24.25 and is calculated by multiplying on a compound basis each of the monthly rates of return set forth in the chart above and not by adding or averaging such monthly rates of return. For periods of less than one year, the results are year-to-date.

WHILE THE FUNDS OBJECTIVE IS NOT TO GENERATE PROFIT THROUGH ACTIVE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, BUT IS TO TRACK THE INDEX, BECAUSE THE INDEX WAS ESTABLISHED IN MARCH 2003, CERTAIN INFORMATION RELATING TO THE INDEX CLOSING LEVELS MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE HYPOTHETICAL. HYPOTHETICAL INFORMATION MAY HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW.

NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT THE INDEX WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE ANNUAL OR CUMULATIVE CLOSING LEVELS CONSISTENT WITH OR SIMILAR TO THOSE SET FORTH HEREIN. SIMILARLY, NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT THE FUND WILL GENERATE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THE FUNDS PAST PERFORMANCE OR THE HISTORICAL ANNUAL OR CUMULATIVE CHANGES IN INDEX CLOSING LEVELS. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY INVESTMENT METHODOLOGIES, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL INFORMATION IS THAT IT IS GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. TO THE EXTENT THAT INFORMATION PRESENTED HEREIN RELATES TO THE PERIOD JANUARY 1988 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2003, THE INDEX CLOSING LEVELS REFLECT THE APPLICATION OF THE INDEX METHODOLOGY, AND SELECTION OF INDEX COMMODITIES, IN HINDSIGHT.

NOTES AND LEGENDS:

High reflects the highest closing level of the Index during the applicable year.
Low reflects the lowest closing level of the Index during the applicable year.
Annual Index Changes reflect the change to the Index level on an annual basis as of December 31 of each applicable year.
Index Changes Since Inception reflect the change of the Index closing levels since inception on a compounded annual basis as of December 31 of each applicable year.
Closing levels as of inception on July 31, 1988.
Closing levels as of December 31, 2008.
The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity IndexOptimum Yield Excess Return and Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity IndexOptimum Yield Total Return reflect the change in market value of the following underlying index commodities: CL (Light, Sweet Crude Oil), HO (Heating Oil), GC (Gold), AL (Aluminum), C (Corn) and W (Wheat) on an optimum yield basis.
If the Funds interest income from its holdings of fixed income securities were to exceed the Funds fees and expenses, the total return on an investment in the Fund is expected to outperform the DBLCIOYER and underperform the DBLCIOYTR. The DBLCIOYER is calculated on an excess return basis, which is unfunded and reflects the change in market value of the underlying index commodities. The DBLCIOYTR is calculated on a total return basis, which is funded and reflects the change in market value of the underlying index commodities and interest income from a hypothetical basket of fixed income securities. Both DBLCIOYER and DBLCIOYTR are calculated to reflect rolling on an optimum yield basis. Optimum yield enables each of DBLCIOYER and DBLCIOYTR to rollover to the futures contract which generates the highest roll yield, rather than select a new future based on a fixed schedule (e.g. monthly). The result will tend to maximize the benefits of rolling in backwardated markets and minimize the loss from rolling in contangoed markets. The DBLCI is intended to reflect the change in market value of the following commodities: Light, Sweet Crude Oil, Heating Oil, Aluminum, Gold, Corn and Wheat. The notional amounts of each index commodity included in the DBLCI are broadly in proportion to historical levels of the worlds production and stocks of the index commodities. The sponsor of the Index, or the Index Sponsor, is Deutsche Bank AG London. Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index is a trademark of Deutsche Bank AG and is the subject of Community Trademark Number 3054996.
If the Funds interest income from its holdings of fixed income securities were to exceed the Funds fees and expenses, the total return on an investment in the Fund is expected to outperform the DBLCIOYER and underperform the DBLCI-OYTR. The only difference between the DBLCIOYER and the DBLCI-OYTR is that the DBLCIOYER does not include interest income from a hypothetical basket of fixed income securities while the DBLCI-OYTR does include such a component. The difference between the DBLCIOYER and the DBLCI-OYTR is attributable entirely to the hypothetical interest income from this hypothetical basket of fixed income securities. If the Funds interest income from its holdings of fixed-income securities exceeds the Funds fees and expenses, then the amount of such excess is expected to be distributed periodically. The market price of the Shares is expected to track closely the DBLCIOYER. The total return on an investment in the Fund over any period is the sum of the capital appreciation or depreciation of the Shares over the period, plus the amount of any distributions during the period. Consequently, the Funds total return is expected to outperform the DBLCIOYER by the amount of the excess, if any, of its interest income over its fees and expenses but, as a result of the Funds fees and expenses, the total return on the Fund is expected to underperform the DBLCI-OYTR. If the Funds fees and expenses were to exceed the Funds interest income from its holdings of fixed income securities, the total return on an investment in the Fund is expected to underperform the DBLCIOYER.

DBLCIER is the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Excess Return. DBLCI ER is composed of the same index commodities as both DBLCIOYER and DBLCIOYTR and is calculated on an excess return basis. Unlike the DBLCIOYER and DBLCIOYTR, each of which are rolled on an optimum yield basis, DBLCIER rolls both CL and HO on a monthly basis and GC, AL, C and W on an annual basis.
DBLCI TR is the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index Total Return. DBLCI TR is composed of the same index commodities as both DBLCIOYER and DBLCIOYTR and is calculated on a total return basis. Unlike the DBLCIOYER and DBLCIOYTR, each of which are rolled on an optimum yield basis, DBLCI TR rolls both CL and HO on a monthly basis and GC, AL, C and W on an annual basis.
GSCI TR is the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index ® calculated on a total return basis. The GSCI is designed to provide investors with a reliable and publicly available benchmark for investment in the commodity market. The GSCI is a composite index of commodity sector returns, representing an unleveraged, long-only investment in commodity futures that is broadly diversified across the spectrum of commodities. In turn, the GSCI provides investors with a representative and realistic picture of realizable returns attainable in the commodities markets.
RICI TR is the Rogers International Commodity Index calculated on a total return basis created on July 31, 1998. RICI represents the value of a basket of commodities employed in the global economy, ranging from agricultural products (such as wheat, corn and cotton) and energy products (including crude oil, gasoline and natural gas) to metals and minerals (including gold, silver, aluminum and lead). As of July 31, 1998, there were thirty-six different contracts represented in the Index. The value of each component is based on monthly closing prices of the corresponding futures and/or forward contracts, each of which is valued as part of a fixed-weight portfolio. The RICI-TR Index was developed to be an effective measure of the price action of raw materials on a worldwide basis. The broad based representation of commodities contracts is intended to provide two important characteristics: The large number of contracts and underlying raw materials represents diversification and the global coverage of those contracts reflects the current state of international trade and commerce.
DJ AIG TR is the Dow Jones AIG Commodity Index SM calculated on a total return basis. The DJ AIG is designed to be a highly liquid and diversified benchmark for the commodity futures market. The DJ-AIG is composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The DJ-AIG is composed of commodities traded on U.S. exchanges, with the exception of aluminum, nickel and zinc, which trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME). A Supervisory Committee meets annually to determine the composition of the index in accordance with the rules established in the DJ-AIGCI Handbook. Committee members are drawn from the academic, financial and legal communities. The most recent Oversight Committee meeting took place in August 2007, with changes in index composition effective January 2008.
Annualized Changes to Index Level reflect the change to the level of the applicable index level on an annual basis as of December 31 of each applicable year.
Average rolling 3 month daily volatility. The daily volatility reflects the relative rate at which the price of the applicable index moves up and down, which is found by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the daily change in price. In turn, an average of this value is calculated on a 3 month rolling basis.
Sharpe Ratio compares the annualized rate of return minus the annualized risk-free rate of return to the annualized variability often referred to as the standard deviation of the monthly rates of return. A Sharpe Ratio of 1:1 or higher indicates that, according to the measures used in calculating the ratio, the rate of return achieved by a particular strategy has equaled or exceeded the risks assumed by such strategy. The risk-free rate of return that was used in all the Sharpe Ratio calculations was assumed to be 3.24%.
% of months with positive change during the period from inception to December 31, 2008.
Average monthly positive change during the period from inception to December 31, 2008.
Average monthly negative change during the period from inception to December 31, 2008.
Annualized Index Levels reflect the change to the level of the applicable index on an annual basis as of December 31 of each the applicable time period (e.g., 1 year, 3, 5 or 7 years).

Footnotes to Performance Information

Aggregate Gross Capital Subscriptions is the aggregate of all amounts ever contributed to the relevant pool, including investors who subsequently redeemed their investments.
Net Asset Value is the net asset value of each pool as of December 31, 2008.
Net Asset Value per Share is the Net Asset Value of the relevant pool divided by the total number of Shares outstanding with respect to such pool as of December 31, 2008.
Worst Monthly Drawdown is the largest single month loss sustained since inception of trading. Drawdown as used in this section of the Prospectus means losses experienced by the relevant pool over the specified period and is calculated on a rate of return basis, i.e., dividing net performance by beginning equity. Drawdown is measured on the basis of monthly returns only, and does not reflect intra-month figures. Month is the month of the Worst Monthly Drawdown.
Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown is the largest percentage decline in the Net Asset Value per Share over the history of the relevant pool. This need not be a continuous decline, but can be a series of positive and negative returns where the negative returns are larger than the positive returns. Worst Peak-to-Valley Drawdown represents the greatest percentage decline from any month-end Net Asset Value per Share that occurs without such month-end Net Asset Value per Share being equaled or exceeded as of a subsequent month-end. For example, if the Net Asset Value per Share of a particular pool declined by $1 in each of January and February, increased by $1 in March and declined again by $2 in April, a peak-to-valley drawdown analysis conducted as of the end of April would consider that drawdown to be still continuing and to be $3 in amount, whereas if the Net Asset Value per Share had increased by $2 in March, the January-February drawdown would have ended as of the end of February at the $2 level.
Compound Rate of Return is calculated by multiplying on a compound basis each of the monthly rates of return set forth in the respective charts above and not by adding or averaging such monthly rates of return. For periods of less than one year, the results are year-to-date.
