Deposits business: demand<br />

for higher-interest-bearing types of saving<br />

In 1989, our private customers showed a pref-<br />

erence for higher-interest-bearing types of saving on<br />

which the interest rates were fixed for a set period.<br />

The fixed-interest-rate savings scheme, our savings<br />

certificates, and the <strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Withdrawal Plan,<br />

which had already been a success in the previous<br />

year, enjoyed particular attention. The aggregate vol-<br />

ume of DM 12 bn. un<strong>der</strong>lines how attractive our cus-<br />

tomers find these investment products.<br />

Life insurance off to a successful start<br />

In its first four months in operation, Lebensversi-<br />

cherungs-<strong>AG</strong> <strong>der</strong> <strong>Deutsche</strong>n <strong>Bank</strong>, Wiesbaden, took<br />

in insurance applications totalling DM 2.1 bn.<br />

ing companies, GEFA-Leasing GmbH, Wuppertal, ex-<br />

panded its new business by 57% to DM 1137 m<br />

At ALDAutoLeasing D GmbH, Hamburg, customer<br />

interest centred on fleet leasing by commercial and<br />

industrial clients.<br />

DM 1,487 m. It financed mainly commercial vehicles<br />

and all kinds of machinery for small and medium-<br />

4. Securities business<br />

Shares and bonds<br />

In the domestic Group we achieved substantial<br />

growth in securities business with private and institu-<br />

tional customers; turnover increased by 14%.<br />

There was a clear preference for investment in do-<br />

mestic and foreign equities (+84%). Among the latter,<br />

the main emphasis was on French and Swiss invest-<br />

ments.<br />

By contrast, turnover in fixed-income securities<br />

(including Schuldscheindarlehen) lagged 7% behind<br />

the high comparative figures for the previous year.<br />

There was heavier demand for foreign-currency<br />

bonds.<br />

lnvestment fund units<br />

Throughout the year, great interest was shown in<br />

EUROVESTA, the fund of our subsidiary DWS Deut-<br />

sche <strong>Gesellschaft</strong> für Wertpapiersparen mbH, Frank-<br />

furt am Main, which invests in equities from the<br />

single European market, and in INTERRENTA, the<br />

registered an inflow of approx. DM 360 m.<br />

<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Gesellschaft</strong> für Fondsverwaltung mbH<br />

(DEGEF), Frankfurt am Main, which manages<br />

special-purpose funds for institutional investors<br />

such as insurance companies, pension and<br />

benevolent funds, professional associations' pension
