Blackmail Indicators
- Likelihood
- possible
- Description
- The document describes potential conflicts of interest related to fees paid to Deutsche Bank, which could create an incentive for them to recommend investments that are not necessarily in the best interest of the investors. While not direct blackmail, this could create a situation where investors are pressured to invest due to the influence of Deutsche Bank.

| Entity 1 | Relationship | Entity 2 | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

| Investment Manager | Servicing Fee Payment | Deutsche Bank | The Investment Manager pays Deutsche Bank a Servicing Fee for performing certain servicing functions for DB Introduced Persons. |

Notable Quotes 2
The DB Placement Fee is a one-time sales charge in addition to and apart from the Subscription, calculated and payable upon closing at a rate determined with respect to the relevant DB Introduced Person's Subscription to the Access Fund (e.g., a DB Introduced Person with an aggregate Subscription of $1 million will pay to Deutsche Bank a DB Placement Fee equal to $20,000).
Accordingly, the potential for Deutsche Bank to receive such fees in connection with the Access Funds may create an incentive for Deutsche Bank to recommend and market an investment into the Access Funds and presents a potential conflict of interest in recommending a direct or indirect investment in the Access Funds as compared to investments in other funds where Deutsche Bank may not receive such fees or may receive lower fees.
Red Flags 4
- The varying fee structures for DB Introduced Persons based on subscription amounts.
- The potential conflict of interest for Deutsche Bank to recommend investments in the Access Funds due to the fees it receives.
- The fact that direct investors in the Underlying Fund do not bear the additional layer of fees and expenses to which DB Introduced Persons are subject.
- Past regulatory settlements involving DBSI.
