-balance sheet portfolio is also subject to a comprehensive credit limit and hedging framework. Deutsche Bank also provides material underwriting activity through its Debt Capital Markets desk which is focused on supporting Investment Grade and cross-over rated corporate borrowers, usually in connection with M&A transaction financing. These exposures are typically 12-24 month bridge loans, which are expected to be repaid by syndicated loans and/or capital markets issuance by the borrower. Deutsche Bank does not bear market placement or pricing risk on these exposures but faces funding risk and credit risk for the duration of the commitment, which are managed through notional underwriting limits for the Group and an industry concentration framework.

Market Risk Management Market Risk framework The vast majority of Deutsche Bank’s businesses are subject to market risk, defined as the potential for change in the market value of the Group’s trading and invested positions. Risk can arise from changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other relevant parameters, such as market volatility and market implied default probabilities.

To achieve this objective, Market Risk Management works closely together with risk takers (“the business units”) and other control and support groups.
