Solid first quarter of 2019 driven by a strong activity in advisory

Wealth & Asset Management: Strong net new assets and equity markets recovery resulted in a robust growth in Assets under Management, up 7% from December 2018. Revenue was down 1% to €118 million (Q1 2018: €120 million) reflecting negative interest on higher Euro central banks deposits
