Figures are in line with expectations and reflect Compagnie Financière Tradition's buoyant activities in Europe and Asia, particularly in the U.K., France and Japan, in what remained a difficult trading climate.

In the first three months of the year, Compagnie Financière Tradition consolidated its leadership position and will continue to adapt its organisation to reflect the realities of the market.
