In first quarter 2004, the Investment Bank posted a record pre-tax profit of CHF 1,674 million, up 115% from first quarter last year. This reflected a significant rise in revenues across all businesses, particularly in our Equities business and in Fixed Income, Rates and Currencies, which posted another record result. Results also benefited from gains on private equity divestments.
