Our global colleagues are re-highlighting the CROCI solution at current levels and/or for outperformance in this rotational
environment. sending their commentary and resending implementation solutions here (full detail if you scroll down):

Ciao
as bond yields are still going down (US 10Y to the lowest YTD (chart 1) and bunds to the lowest in 12mths (Chart 2)) we could
see further inflows in favour of "income strategies in the equity space. Dividends could come back again as a theme to play in
this "anaemic" market for returns.
A part from CROCI DIVIDEND strategies (the core for an asset allocation in dividend stocks via dynamic strategies), here are
a few DB custom synthetic baskets that are investing in "dividend" related stocks (static baskets):
EFTA01202453
DBCGDD3N Dependable Dividends
DBCTDGYN Dividend Growth, high yield
DBCTUQDN UK Quality Dividend
DBUSDIVG US Dividend Growth
You can invest in the baskets easily via delta 1 certificates.
You can find the constituents on bloomberg (page DBCU) or ask me if you need.

Subject: Consider: $10-15mm Total Return Swap on Cash Return On Capital Invested (CROCI). 3mL+85bps (C)
Classification: Confidential
" Prepared exclusively for Jeffrey Epstein, Key Client Partners (KCP) • "
Jeffrey -
Globally you are seeing the rotation from high-beta, small cap and growth stocks into large-cap value. This is inline with your
early call for us to pull out a concentrated five names. Entry point here.
Instead of those single stocks, consider a $10-15mm total return swap on Cash Return On Capital Invested (CROCI)
index. Specifically, the CROCI sub-index focused on dividend paying/dividend-growing US equities.
I've included my colleague, Joe Hall, who sits on the CROCI team and will gladly detail this stock-selection strategy with you
directly at any point.
Full presentation is attached, a few key points here:
• Achieve benefits of active valuation for passive price
• Bottoms-up valuation - DB CROCI Analyst team (60 people globally) assess each company in its global universe
(800 stocks) from an Economic PE perspective, adjusting balance sheets to reconcile operating cash flow across
sectors for comparable stock-valuation
EFTA01202455
• Quantitative selection - stocks selected each month based on the lowest price-to-operating-earnings ratio, based on
their valuation metrics (above)
• Stock universe is ex-financials
• Re-sets monthly
• Transparent - pull up the CROCI indices on Bloomberg for mark-to-market (ex: DBUSSDUT = CROCI US Dividends)
• Implementation can be customized via a separately managed account (SMA) of single stocks
• Tax-efficient, liquid, levered exposure can be achieved via total-return swap (TRS)
• 10 principal indices in the CROCI family: US, UK, Japan, Germany, Euro, World, World Ex-Japan, Sectors III,
Global Dividends and US Dividends
• CROCI Dividends targets companies with sustainable dividends AND attractive valuations (performance below and p 7
of the attached)
Long only - TRS on CROCI US Dividends (DBUSSDUT):
Underlying: CROCI Div (DBUSSDUT)
Client Pays: 3mLibor + 0.85% Notional
compounded quarterly
Client Rcvs: Notional x [Final/Initial - 1]
Initial Margin: 20%
Long/short US Only - Long CROCI US Dividends vs. Short S&P 500 (two swaps):
Underlying: CROCI Div (DBUSSDUT) and S&P 500 (SPTR)
Client Pays: [SPTR Perf - (3mLibor + 0.20% I.)] x Notional
Client Rcvs: [DBUSSDUT Perf - (3mLibor + 0.80% N.)] x Notional
Initial Margin: 20%
