Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna/Frankfurt, 20 August 2008. C-QUADRAT
Investment AG (ISIN AT0000613005) concluded the first half of 2008
with fee and commission income of EUR 21.2 million, profit before tax
of EUR 3.7 million and a net profit for the period of EUR 2.9
million. Due to the difficult market environment, the record results
of the first half of 2007 were not achieved. However, the fee
generating assets were increased to EUR 4.8 billion in spite of the
market trend thanks to well-positioned sales and good performance of
the C-QUADRAT funds.

"We have succeeded in compensating for the reduction in performance
fees and contributions of associated companies as far as possible.
Despite the negative market environment, we have continued to invest
in sales, so that our growth is on an even wider basis in the
future," commented C-QUADRAT founder and Management Board member
Alexander Schütz on the interim results.
