Vienna/Frankfurt, 10 July 2008 (euro adhoc) - C-QUADRAT Investment AG
(ISIN AT0000613005) increased its fee-generating assets in the second
quarter of 2008 despite difficult market conditions. Fee-generating
assets cover asset management, fund brokerage and mediating
alternative investments. Of particular note is the fact that the
company managed to generate this volume growth solely on the basis of
organic growth.

As of 30 June 2008, fee-generating assets of the company totalled EUR
4.8 billion (EUR 4.7 billion as of 31 March 2008). "We are very
pleased that we further extended our fee-generating assets in the
second quarter, despite extremely difficult market conditions. What
is particularly positive is the fact that in our core Asset
Management segment we grew organically against the trend. This shows
the distribution clout of our company," commented C-QUADRAT Board of
Management member and company founder, Alexander Schütz the pleasing
result.

The dormant participation of the company in the Vienna branch of
Privatinvest-Bank (owned by the Allianz Group) was sold to 30 June
2008. Privatinvest-Bank acquired the 50% stake held by C-QUADRAT
Investment AG. The volume of this stake (EUR 213 million as of 30
June) was allocated to the non-core fee-generating assets until 30
June 2008. "We want to concentrate on activities where we can be
actively involved in the growth of the individual areas," stated
Board of Management member Alexander Schütz on the sale of the
dormant participation.

The interim report of the company as of 30 June 2008 will be
published on 20 August 2008.
