| IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS |
|
Currencies and futures generally are volatile and may not be suitable for all investors. Investment in foreign exchange related products is subject to many factors which contribute to or increase volatility, such as national debt levels and trade deficits, changes in domestic and foreign interest rates, and investors’ expectations concerning interest rates, currency exchange rates and global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. The Funds will be successful only if significant losses are avoided. Please review the prospectus regarding specific break-even figures for the Funds.
The Funds are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment in the Funds.
Please see the prospectus for a full description of how the Funds invest and the master-feeder structure of the Funds.
The Funds are not mutual funds or any other type of Investment Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and are not subject to regulation thereunder.
Shares in the Funds are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank guarantee.
This material must be accompanied or preceded by a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

1 Underlying Index history is hypothetical and does not represent Fund returns. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or overcompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown above.
The Index Base Date is December 31, 1986. The Funds seek to track the Deutsche Bank Long USD Futures Index - Excess Return™ (Symbol: USDUPX) and the Deutsche Bank Short USD Futures Index - Excess Return™ (Symbol: USDDNX), respectively. Results for the Deutsche Bank Long USD Futures Index—Total Return™ (Symbol: DBUSDX) and the Deutsche Bank Short USD Futures Index— Total Return™ (Symbol: DBUSDXS), both of which consist of the Index plus 3-month United States Treasury securities returns, are displayed because the Funds collateralize futures positions with 3-month United States Treasury securities.
2 Fund and Index performance since inception are based on the Funds’ exchange listing date of February 20, 2007. The S&P 500 and U.S. Treasury Bills since inception of the Funds are calculated as of the same date. All other index history is based on the available historical performance of such index.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market. U.S. Treasury bills are debt obligations of the U.S. government and backed by its full faith and credit, having a maturity of one year or less. You cannot invest directly in an index.
