Fund Rescue Raises Alarm

scmp.com

<< Fears that arbitrage losses among finance houses could spin out of control mounted in the wake of a US$3.75 billion bailout of one of the largest hedge funds in the United States.

Regulators tightened scrutiny of institutions' positions yesterday and hedge-fund managers warned of more carnage to come as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York brokered a rescue of the troubled fund, Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM). >>

<< Rumours that an even more highly leveraged hedge fund than LTCM is facing troubles have been circulating for most of the week. >>

Hi Wendy,

Hang on to your seat again, there is more to come.
