In 2014 C-QUADRAT Investment AG realized another highly successful
financial year. This success was due to various factors. The
company's positive revenue and earnings trends were mainly
attributable to healthy core business, significant growth in the
volume of assets under its management thanks to the performance of
C-QUADRAT's funds, the expansion of its sales activities and
efficient cost management.

Revenue from regular management fees was increased thanks to the
significant rise in the volume of assets under the company's
management. Moreover, the solid performance of the funds of C-QUADRAT
and its subsidiaries generated considerable performance-based
management fees. Overall, this yielded growth of 37% in the Group's
total revenues, which amounted to EUR 94.9 million (2013: EUR 69.0
million).

The subsidiaries also provided significant contributions to
consolidated earnings. Net income from associates increased by 98.3%
to EUR 8.5 million (2013: EUR 4.3 million). In overall terms, in 2014
pre-tax earnings of EUR 27.1 million (2013: EUR 11.2 million) and a
net profit for the year (after taxes) of EUR 22.4 million (2013: EUR
9.5 million) were realized.

Earnings per share amount to EUR 5.05 (2013: EUR 2.20).

C-QUADRAT founder and management board member Alexander Schütz says
of these results: "2014 was a very good year for unit holders in
C-QUADRAT funds and it was also a very good year for C-QUADRAT's
shareholders. Thanks to the continuing growth in the volume of assets
managed by the C-QUADRAT Group, the company has realized further
improvements in its revenue base. We will continue to pursue our
strategy of the company's internationalization."
