Index Base Date: March 12, 1993

Performance data quoted represents past performance. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

*Index returns are hypothetical and do 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 over-compensated 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. For a complete list of risks associated with investment, please see the prospectus.

About the Fund's Index
The Deutsche Bank G10 Currency Harvest IndexTM is, at any one time, composed of long futures contracts on the three G10 currencies associated with the highest interest rates and short futures contracts on the three G10 Currencies associated with the lowest interest rates. If the United States Dollar is one of the six currencies associated with the highest or lowest interest rates, the Fund will not establish a long or short futures position in USD because USD is the Fund's home currency and, consequently, the Fund cannot enjoy profit or suffer loss from long or short futures positions in USD. The Index re-evaluates interest rates quarterly and, based on the evaluation, re-weights the futures contracts it holds. Immediately after each re-weighting, the Index will reflect an investment on a 2:1 leveraged basis in the three long futures contracts and in the three short futures contracts (unless USD is one of the six currencies associated with the highest or lowest interest rates, in which case the Index will reflect an investment on a 1.66:1 leveraged basis). By entering into long and short positions, the Index is expected to provide more consistent and less volatile returns than could be obtained by taking long positions only or short positions only.
