ETP – Weekly Turnover
Weekly Turnover Information
Weekly Turnover Definition The Weekly Turnover numbers make reference to the total dollar value ($) traded over a 1 week span. For example, if this report
is being published on Tuesday Feb 1st, the “this week” figure makes reference to the total dollar value traded from Monday, Jan
17th to Friday, Jan 21st, while the “Previous Week” figure makes reference to the total dollar value traded from Monday, Jan 10th
to Friday, Jan 14th, and finally, the Year 2010 figure makes reference to the weekly average turnover throughout the year 2010.
Turnover Calculation Turnover is calculated by multiplying the daily traded volume in shares by the end of day price of the ETP, for any given day. Then
the weekly turnover figure is the aggregation of all turnover figures within a given week.

Appendix A: How we define ETPs
Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs)
We define an exchange-traded product (ETP) as a secure (funded or collateralized)
open-ended delta-one exchange-traded equity or debt instrument with no embedded
optionality and market-wide appeal to investors. This includes exchange traded funds,
exchange-traded commodities (Europe) and exchange-traded vehicles (US).
The figure below provides a summary of our current coverage universe by region and
structure type as on 31 December 2014.
The vast majority of instruments are ETFs (97%, 3,906 products, $2,641bn) with the
remainder being ETCs (0.7%, 451 products, $20.4bn) in Europe and ETVs (2.1%, 70
products, $56.7bn) in the US.

ETPs ETFs ETC/Vs
Source: Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg Finance LP, Reuters
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs, 97%)
US (71%): Fund structures that issue shares that are traded on an exchange much the
same way as equities. ETFs indexed to equity and fixed income benchmarks are
registered under the investment company act of 1940. Only physical index replication
techniques are permissible by this legislation while synthetic replication is not allowed.
Europe (16%): Fund structures that issue units or shares that are traded on an exchange
much the same way as equities. The vast majorities of European ETFs are UCITS III
compliant and are primarily domiciled in Dublin and Luxemburg. The Undertakings for
Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) are a set of European Union
directives that aim to allow collective investment schemes to operate freely throughout
the EU on the basis of a single authorization from one member state. Both physical and
synthetic index replication is permissible by UCITS and funds are allowed to track
equity, fixed income as well as diversified commodity indices.
Asia (7%): Both European and US ETFs are cross sold into the Asian market.
Exchange-Traded Collateralized Instruments (3%)
Exchange-Traded Commodities (ETCs, 1%)
In Europe as UCITS III does not permit the creation of funds tracking non diversified
commodity indices (for example wheat or oil), exchange-traded products that track
single commodity profiles are issued under the EU Prospectus Directive in two
structures that have become widely known as exchange-traded commodities (ETCs).
ETCs can either be physically backed or they can be issued through a bankruptcy
remote special purpose vehicle (SPV). Both forms utilize offshore domiciles, such as
Jersey, and are classed as debt instruments. Physically-backed ETCs are fully backed
with securities that closely resemble the composition of a product’s benchmark index.
27 April 2015
US ETF Weekly Research
Page 34 Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.
SPV structures are collateralized by assets that could bear no resemblance to those of
their respective benchmark index and replicate their index return through a total return
swap structure or by holding other derivative instruments such as futures. In the vast
majority of cases, both types of ETCs are fully collateralized with secure assets such as
money market instruments, government bonds and gold. For more information, please
refer to our research report issued on March 11 2010 titled ‘The race for assets in the
European Exchange-Traded Products Market”.
Exchange-traded vehicles (ETVs, 2%)
This terminology typically refers to grantor trusts that exist in the US market. These
instruments track primarily commodity benchmarks. They differ from ETFs in that they
are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not the Investment Company Act of
1940, hence they are not classed as funds. Vehicles that replicate commodity
benchmarks, more often known as pools, and funds targeting alternative index returns
are formed under the Commodities Exchange Act and are listed under the 33 Securities
Act, and report under 34 Corporate Act.

Opinions, estimates and projections constitute the current judgment of the author as of the date of this report. They do
not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without notice. Deutsche Bank has no
obligation to update, modify or amend this report or to otherwise notify a recipient thereof if any opinion, forecast or

purposes only. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any
particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of the analyst’s judgment. The financial
instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors and investors must make their own informed
investment decisions. Prices and availability of financial instruments are subject to change without notice and
investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is
denominated in a currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the
investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are
current as of the end of the previous trading session, and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and
other vendors. Data is sourced from Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and in some cases, other parties.
Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise
to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash
flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a
loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the
loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse
macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation
(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency
convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and
settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed
income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to
FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the
index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended
to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon
rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is
also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are
denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to
the risks related to rates movements.
Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.
The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own
circumstances including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and

liabilities, and as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar
to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can
be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be
incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable
for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized
Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the
website please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.
Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i)
exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected by
numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and
debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposed
exchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are
affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.
Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the
investor's home jurisdiction.
