Financial Businesses & Industrial Holdings

Global Wealth Management & Business Banking’s pre-tax profit was CHF 2,021 million in first quarter 2006. Pre-tax profit for the international and Swiss wealth management businesses was a record CHF 1,276 million in first quarter 2006, up 14% from fourth quarter 2005. In the US, pre-tax profit rose to CHF 186 million from CHF 83 million in fourth quarter. Net new money from all wealth management businesses totaled CHF 33.6 billion in first quarter, a new record. Business Banking Switzerland’s pre-tax profit was CHF 559 million, up 3% from fourth quarter.
Global Asset Management

Strong performance fees earned in alternative and quantitative investments as well as in traditional asset classes combined with higher asset-based fees, reflecting both net new money inflows and rising financial markets, contributed to this performance.
