BERLIN: Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank announced on Wednesday a $1.46 billion in net profit attributable to shareholders in the third quarter of the year, up 11% and above expectations, which came after the bank's 15th consecutive quarterly profit streak was disrupted in this year's second quarter. The income of the bank's investment banking unit also rose 11% to $2.7 billion in the third quarter. The bank's net income rose 5% on an annual basis to $8 billion.
