quarterly report

Vienna/Frankfurt (euro adhoc) - • Strong increase in management fees
from EUR 7.6 million to EUR 11.5 million (+52 %) • Personnel and
administrative expenses reduced from EUR 4.1 million to EUR 3.4
million • Net profit amounts to EUR 1.0 million

In the 1st quarter of 2011, C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN
AT0000613005) realized a net profit of EUR 1.0 million. The strong
increase in management fees, from EUR 7.6 million to EUR 11.5 million
(52 %), is a particularly positive result. The management fees are
the fees charged for the continuous management of C-QUADRAT´s
investment funds. Besides the growth in assets under management, this
strong increase is mainly attributable to the replacement of
institutional assets with retail assets offering higher margins. The
higher management fees represent a significant improvement in the
company´s long-term revenue structure.

In the 1st quarter of the previous year, C-QUADRAT already indicated
that an analogous trend should not be expected for performance fees.
Due to the weak and volatile stock market environment triggered by
the events in Japan, in the 1st quarter of 2011 performance fees fell
from EUR 7.2 million to EUR 0.1 million. C-QUADRAT earns these fees
when the investment funds under its management achieve a positive
performance beyond a high watermark. These performance fees
accordingly fluctuate strongly from quarter to quarter.

In the 1st quarter of 2011, personnel and administrative expenses
fell from EUR 4.1 million to EUR 3.4 million. Net profit amounts to
EUR 1.0 million (2010: EUR 4.7 million).

C-QUADRAT founder and management board member Alexander Schütz
comments: "Due to the strong growth realized by our assets under
management - particularly in the retail segment - we have high
recurring revenues and are thus in a better position than ever
before. Successful asset managers can realize extremely good results
in exceptional years. But it´s more important to achieve good results
in a challenging stock market environment as well. We were able to do
just that in the 1st quarter of 2011."
