In addition, in 2016 we continued to invest in promising projects in order to diversify our product range. Sales of funds in the Social Impact Investing segment developed highly positively. We have been granted permission to distribute our microfinance funds in Germany, and these funds have met with a very warm response on the market. We have also made huge progress with our special funds for institutional investors," says C-QUADRAT founder and management board member Alexander Schütz on the subject of the company's net income for the year.
