*Deviations due to rounding of figures.

At EUR 411 million (previous year: EUR 310 million), ship investments
increased against the general market trend and made 2006 the most
successful year in terms of ship investment since the company’s foundation
in 1994. The successful placements were attributable to a comprehensive
product offering comprising investment variants such as the MPC Reefer
Fleet, as well as reasonable shipbuilding prices and long-term charter
contracts for container ships. A total amount of EUR 420 million was placed
in the corporate investments segment, up from EUR 327 million in 2005.

Due to the situation in the international real estate markets and the
reduced availability of products, equity raised for closed-end real estate
funds continued to decline in 2006. A total amount of EUR 234 million
(previous year: EUR 409 million) was invested in traditional closed-end
funds based on Dutch, German and UK properties as well as in the real
estate opportunity investment concept.

The range of life insurance funds contributed EUR 142 million to the
placement volume of the past fiscal year (previous year: EUR 118 million),
of which EUR 110 million was accounted for by funds based on German capital
life insurance policies. With EUR 32 million in equity raised, the
placement result of the funds based on British policies fell short of
expectations.

The issuing volume in the structured products segment almost doubled from
the previous year’s EUR 62 million to EUR 119 million. Since mid-2006, the
various capital-guaranteed bond and certificate solutions have been
marketed by Assentus Bank.

With EUR 49 million in equity placed (previous year: EUR 38 million) the
recovery in the private equity segment continued. The modified fund concept
of the Global Equity series, which is based on pre-selected target funds
and a clear investment focus, has proven to be a compelling funds
structure.

Investments in open-ended investment funds, especially the MPC Europa
Methodik fund, were strong at EUR 44 million, compared to EUR 20 million in
the previous year. As of the balance sheet date, the four funds had
combined assets under management of EUR 120 million.

At EUR 112 million, MPC Capital's Austrian subsidiary accounted for 11% of
Group equity placed (previous year: EUR 157 million). Another 6% (EUR 57
million) of the 2006 equity was placed in the Netherlands (previous year:
EUR 72 million).

Since 1994, some 141,000 customers have invested approx. EUR 5.8 billion in

261 funds with a total investment volume of over EUR 14.2 billion.

MPC Capital AG's figures for fiscal 2006 and the guidance for 2007 will be
published on February 28, 2006.
