In third quarter 2004, the Investment Bank posted a pre-tax profit of CHF 714 million, down 19% from the same period last year and 23% lower than second quarter 2004. Flat market conditions and lower levels of investor activity impacted trading revenues. In particular, the fixed income, rates and currencies business did not match the strong performance it achieved in the peak market conditions seen earlier this year.
