 objective – Insufficient equity to permit the structured entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support – Financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches) The principal uses of structured entities are to provide clients with access to specific portfolios of assets and to provide market liquidity for clients through securitizing financial assets. Structured entities may be established as corporations, trusts or partnerships. Structured entities generally finance the purchase of assets by issuing debt and equity securities that are collateralized by and/or indexed to the assets held by the structured entities. The debt and equity securities issued by structured entities may include tranches with varying levels of subordination. Structured entities are consolidated when the substance of the relationship between the Group and the structured entities indicate that the structured entities are controlled by the Group, as discussed in Note 1 “Material Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates”. Consolidated structured entities The Group has contractual arrangements which may require it to provide financial support to the following types of consolidated structured entities. Securitization vehicles The Group uses securitization vehicles for funding purchase of diversified pool of assets. The Group provides financial support to these entities in the form of liquidity facility. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding loan commitments to these entities. Funds The Group may provide funding and liquidity facility or guarantees to funds consolidated by the Group. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the notional value of the liquidity facilities and guarantees provided by the Group to such funds was € 1.5billion and € 1.1billion, respectively. Deutsche Bank did not provide non-contractual support during the year to consolidated structured entities. Unconsolidated structured entities These are entities which are not consolidated because the Group does not control them through voting rights, contract, funding agreements, or other means. The extent of the Group’s interests to unconsolidated structured entities will vary depending on the type of structured entities. Below is a description of the Group’s involvements in unconsolidated structured entities by type. Repackaging and investment entities Repackaging and investment entities are established to meet clients’ investment needs through the combination of securities and derivatives.
