6-month report

· Total revenues: EUR 21.0 million
· Net profit for the period: EUR 0.9 million
· Assets under management: EUR 5.3 billion

In the first six months of 2016, C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN
AT0000613005) realized total revenues of EUR 21.0 million and a net
profit for the period of EUR 0.9 million. By comparison with the
prior period, personnel expenses were reduced by 12.8% to EUR 4,8
million, while other administrative expenses and other operating
expenses have increased by 6.6% to EUR 4.5 million.

Despite the difficult market environment over the past six months,
the volume of assets under the company's management remained almost
unchanged. As of June 30, 2016, the total assets managed by the
C-QUADRAT Group amounted to EUR 5.3 billion, compared to EUR 5.4
billion (-1.5%) as of December 31, 2015.

"The revenue and earnings trends were clearly negatively affected by
the almost complete loss of performance-related management fees in
the first six months of the year, which had reached a record level in
2015. In terms of costs, every process within the company is
currently being scrutinized. Nonetheless, in the first six months of
2016 we continued to invest in promising projects in order to
diversify our product range. Sales of funds in the Social Impact
Investing segment have developed particularly positively. We have
been granted permission to distribute our microfinance funds in
Germany, and so far these funds have met with a very warm response on
the market. We see a strong market potential here," says C-QUADRAT
founder and management board member Alexander Schütz of the report
for the first six months of the year.

With immediate effect, C-QUADRAT Investment AG's report for the first
six months of 2016 is available for downloading from the Investor
Relations section at www.c-quadrat.at.
