Asset management accounts for most of the Group’s activities in the financial segment and focuses mainly on the management of the Group companies’ financial instruments.
The operating result of the financial segment went from € 353.6 million at 31 December 2010 to € 341.7 million, influenced in particular by lower net commissions due to the financial market performance.
Non-operating result
The non-operating result of the financial segment went from € -59.0 million at 31 December 2010 to € 15.7 million. This improvement was essentially attributable to the realized gain on the sale by BSI group of its controlling interest in the service provider B-Source SA, a Swiss company specialized in back-office and IT services to the banking sector.
