FIM Group Corporation Stock Exchange Announcement 5 October 2006 at 10.00 a.m. Finnish time FIM’s Monthly Statistics September 2006 FIM in September FIM Asset Management’s assets under management were 2,692 million euros in end of September 2006, representing an increase of 11 percent over the same period in 2005. Assets under management in funds were 1,674 million euros and assets under management in equity funds were 1,107 million euros. The somewhat lower volume of assets in funds in the end of September compared to end of August was due to negative inflow of assets during the month. FIM Brokerage's share of the euro volume on OMX Helsinki in September was 2.8 percent, while at the corresponding time last year it was 3.0 percent. The share of trades executed was at 3.3 percent in September 2006 (3.5 percent in September 2005). FIM Investment Banking’s structured notes sales volumes were 11 million euros in Q3.
