Deutsche Bank's Management Board has created a new Global Advisory Board comprising experts from business, academia and politics, whose task it is to advise the Management Board on fundamental macroeconomic, geopolitical and technological developments that have a significant impact on the bank's operating environment.
The Management Board has appointed Paul Achleitner, former Chairman of the bank’s Supervisory Board, as the founding Chairman of the Global Advisory Board. Other members are:
The Global Advisory Board meets for the first time today in New York. In future, there will be two official meetings per year. Advisory Board members are also available to the Management Board with their advice between the meetings. Regular guests at the Advisory Board meetings will be Deutsche Bank Supervisory Board Chairman Alexander Wynaendts, Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing and Chief Economist David Folkerts-Landau.
"In a rapidly changing world, it is of great importance, especially for a global financial institution, to identify social, technological and geopolitical developments at an early stage in order to draw the right conclusions for our bank and its clients," says Alexander Wynaendts.
"I am delighted that we have been able to recruit six experienced business representatives, politicians and academics for our new Global Advisory Board," adds Christian Sewing. "Their insights will help us, as a Global Hausbank, to be a crucial partner for our clients on issues concerning the future."
Paul Achleitner, Chairman of the Global Advisory Board, says: "Economic activity is shaped more than ever by the technological revolution of our time. Added to that are the historic challenges of geopolitical tensions and a changed view of globalisation. The Advisory Board will develop ideas and proposals on how the bank and its clients can best navigate this environment, manage risks and seize the opportunities that arise."

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them. These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our revenues and in which we hold a substantial portion of our assets, the development of asset prices and market volatility, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of our strategic initiatives, the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and methods, and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Such factors are described in detail in our SEC Form 20-F of 11 March 2022 under the heading “Risk Factors”. Copies of this document are readily available upon request or can be downloaded from www.db.com/ir.
