The discretionary portfolio and fund management revenues also fell by EUR40 million (7%), while asset management revenues decreased by EUR32 million (7%), and in private wealth management by EUR9 million (8%).
Josef Ackermann, chairman of the management board said; "During the third quarter, the operating environment was more difficult than at any time since the end of 2008, driven by a deteriorating macro-economic outlook, and significant financial market turbulence.
"Our performance was, inevitably, impacted by this environment, but we benefited significantly from the strategic decisions we have taken to recalibrate and de-risk our investment bank, increase the earnings contribution from our ‘classic’ banking businesses, and strengthen our capital, liquidity and funding position," Ackermann added.
