Fed's Bear portfolio shrinks more than $1 billion
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve's portfolio of Bear Stearns assets is currently worth $28.89 billion (14.6 billion pounds), the central bank estimated on Thursday, down more than $1 billion from its original value.
In March, the Fed orchestrated a buyout of the troubled investment bank by JP Morgan. The portfolio of tarnished securities, now called Maiden Lane LLC, is being held by the New York Fed.
