Industrial holdings, which includes our private equity portfolio and a majority stake in Motor-Columbus, contributed CHF 32 million to fourth quarter 2005 attributable profit from continuing operations.

Global Asset Management

Global Asset Management’s pre-tax profit was CHF 305 million in fourth quarter 2005, marginally lower than CHF 308 million in third quarter. It was another strong quarter as asset-based fees again rose, reflecting both net new money inflows and rising financial markets. These increases were offset by a rise in general and administrative expenses.

Investment Bank

In fourth quarter 2005, the Investment Bank posted a pre-tax profit of CHF 1,372 million, up 8% from the same period last year. Before goodwill, pre-tax profit was up 2%. Strong revenues in investment banking, equity derivatives and prime brokerage were offset by an increase in costs, primarily for personnel and IT.
