What Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft does

Germany's largest bank: corporate/investment banking, private banking and asset management, with a global trading and advisory franchise.

Earns from three sources: fees and interest on payments and trade finance for companies, trading and advisory in the investment bank, and retail and wealth banking in Germany through Postbank, bought in 2010. It listed asset manager DWS in 2018 and still owns most of it. A restructuring since 2019 cut costs and exited equities sales and trading.

In one line: Germany's Citigroup/Goldman Sachs hybrid.
