Global Asset Management
Global Asset Management

Global Asset Management’s pre-tax profit was CHF 164 million in fourth quarter 2004 – our best quarterly result since 2000. Higher market valuations, coupled with strong net new money inflows and increased performance-related fees, resulted in rising revenues across all our businesses. Operating expenses decreased in the quarter, largely reflecting a fall in restructuring provisions.
