Deutsche Bank AG, Germany's biggest bank and the parent of the former Alex. Brown & Sons locally, announced an unexpected fourth-quarter loss yesterday, though its chief executive officer predicted a recovery this year. For the quarter that ended Dec. 31, Deutsche Bank reported a net loss equivalent to about $113 million. The loss was much less than the $1.08 billion loss posted for the comparable period of 2001, but it was far from the $217.8 million profit analysts had expected. Chief Executive Officer Josef Ackermann "is delivering the cost cuts, but that isn't enough to offset weak revenue," said Rolf Zartner, a money manager with Deka Investment GmbH in Frankfurt, and one of the bank's largest stockholders.
