Citigroup Liquidates Fund That Fell 53% In A Month - FT

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

Citigroup Inc. (C) is liquidating its Corporate Special Opportunities hedge fund, which lost 53% of its value last month, the Financial Times newspaper reported Wednesday on its Web site, citing people familiar with the matter.

CSO managed almost $4.2 billion at its peak and has a net asset value of about $58 million and debt of about $880 million, investors say, according to the FT.

Investors in the fund will likely receive no more than $0.10 on the dollar and Citi's losses could hit hundreds of millions of dollars, the newspaper said, citing people familiar with the matter.

The FT quoted Citigroup as saying its hedge funds "are subject to comprehensive internal fiduciary and risk management oversight and senior level management supervision. As with many other credit-based investment products, investment returns have been hurt by one of the most volatile periods for fixed income in history."
