Catella AB – Year-end Report 2016

In the fourth quarter, Catella's total income increased by 7% to SEK 610 M (571) year on year. The growth is mainly due to increased assets under management and an increase in transactions in Property Funds and Wealth Management. The Group's operating profit was SEK 84 M (110) in the quarter and the reduction in operating profit is mainly due to lower variable earnings. Even if variable earnings were down, Catella’s fixed earnings increased, both in the quarter and for the year.
