Bellevue reports market-driven decline in net profit to CHF 25.3 mn

Dividend yield of 5.3% based on the proposed ordinary dividend of CHF 2.00 per share
Bellevue expects the general market environment to remain very volatile and challenging. High inflation rates, the prospect of more interest rate hikes, and geopolitical uncertainty are unlikely to brighten investor sentiment in the short term. Healthcare will remain an investment megatrend. As a «House of Investment Ideas», Bellevue will act agilely to identify and exploit investment opportunities as they emerge in the best interests of the clients it serves. Bellevue management reiterates its long-term guidance, provided markets are constructive.

Steady expansion of «Bellevue Private Markets» unit – investment volume growing as planned.
