* as proposed to the AGM
AvW INVEST AG thus achieved the best result in the company´s history.
Once again, the key driver behind this record result was the strong 
growth in AvW INVEST AG´s core segment of financial services, which 
accounts for two thirds of the company´s POA and net profit. The 
derivatives segment performed particularly well and even surpassed 
the company´s own expectations.
In the area of equity participations, AvW INVEST AG recently acquired
a share of around 2 per cent in the German IT company D+S Europe 
(DSJG.DE). Further acquisitions are possible.
As far as the development of the current financial year is concerned,
Wolfgang Auer von Welsbach, Chairman of the AvW Management Board, is 
very optimistic: "We intend to further expand our financial services 
and investment activities, strengthen our international position and 
continue to increase our profits", he points out. Further details 
will be announced at today´s balance sheet press conference.
The company´s annual report for the 2007 financial year is available 
on the AvW website at www.avw.eu.
