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 />

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 />
