2007 Operational highlights

In this dynamic and challenging year for all financial markets worldwide, we managed to grow our assets under management to over EUR 83 billion by attracting more than EUR 5 billion in new assets. By further professionalising our investment process and service offering, we outperformed against the benchmark in almost every risk profile.

We focused on expanding our integrated services and solutions for international high net worth clients, both geographically – in the UK and Asia – and in our product range. Our structured products were very successful and we realised the biggest placement ever for Fortis Private Banking with our booming Dynamic Real Estate Fund III.

In line with our unique ‘enterprise and entrepreneur’ approach, we continuously improved our collaboration with other business units within Fortis and kept cross-selling at the top of our agenda.

2008 Focus

• Prepare for integration of ABN AMRO’s private banking activities
• Bolster and expand the service offering to meet growing client needs
• Strengthen position in selected growth markets like Central and Eastern Europe
