Excellent performance since 1980. In a long-term comparison, the Deutsche Bank share has been an attractive investment, in both absolute and relative terms. Investors who bought the equivalent of € 10,000 in Deutsche Bank shares at the beginning of 1980, used the cash dividends to buy new shares and participated in capital increases without injecting additional funds, had a shareholding worth € 98,189 at the end of 2003. This corresponds to an average annual return of 10% compared with a return of just 9% in the DAX over the same period.
